Perfect Love Exists

There are days in which I feel alone, but never lonely. There are days I think about my past relationships and relish the lessons and forgive myself for the regrets. There are moments when it feels it may be easier to settle and compromise in order to fill my short terms needs.

I believe there's a perfect love for everyone that can only come from God's matchmaking. Last night, I was watching "They've Got to Have Us" and there was a scene when Diahann Carroll was talking about her relationship decades earlier with Sidney Poitier. All these years later you can feel the love and the sorrow and pain from what was obviously the love of her life that got away. I remember thinking damn that's the kind of love I want in my life.

Even at 50, I believe that love is still obtainable for me. I'll wait on it and when it manifests, that's a wrap. It matters not if I've tried and failed. It hasn't been revealed to me who she is. She may not even be a stranger. The purest, realest, vulnerable, sacred and true love is possible and isn't something I can or will decide for myself. It'll be the moment when time stands still and God points at her and whispers in my ear, "this one".
