Now I know what true Love is.

For the past few days I have been battling with the worst mistake of my life which I have sworn never to repeat but, today I am free as a bird. It is not just freedom gotten out of clear conscience rather it is a freedom found in true love. I would not go into talking about the entire ugly incident because it is not worth it anymore. Just two days ago I found the courage to open up to the very man I would have lost because of my mistake. This decision was necessitated by the good advice I got from my best friend after narrating everything to her. Yes, I will not deny the fact that it would have been so hard for me to do it on my own if not with the help of my best friend. I truly value her so much for being sincere with me and not taking sides. I remembered that one of my close friends supported me even when she knew that I was the one who messed up by cheating on my lover. She told me that I should not allow guilt to eat me up, after all, my so-called might have done the worst things. She said that because she thought that my lover was that kind of man without principle but I told her that my love cannot do such a thing to me.

So, when I talked with my best friend, she told me that I must open up to my lover if I wanted to have peace of mind. I took her advice and summoned courage and now the rest has become history. Well, I will try to tell you how it happened and why I can tell everyone that I now know what true love is all about. Our normal weekend routine started when he called me to invite me over for the weekend. Before the ugly incident, we usually spend weekends together either in his house or in a hotel. When he invited me over, I told him that I would want us to meet that there is something I want to tell him. He obliged me and we met that evening in a lounge where we could be able to talk. I noticed he was somehow uncomfortable this made him not waste any minute before throwing up the question of “what is the problem”. The moment I heard this question, my heart rate increased and was almost so loud that anyone who listened could hear the beat.

I looked at him the second time and hot hears started running down my cheek. It was at this time that I found out that the man I have been dating is an angel both in and out. Before I could open my mouth to talk, He came close and hugged me very tightly and whispered these words that turned the entire thing around. He said; “we learn from our mistakes and every mistake we face in life is necessary for our formation as a human being”. I could not hold back the tears anymore as I began to talk. I told him how sorry I was and that I know sorry may not be enough to take away the hurt I have caused him by cheating on him. As I was still forming the words to say them, he grabbed me a kissed my forehead and said; love is bigger than what we see or know. It takes the pains of the other and gives them peace”. He held my hands and told me not to worry or allow my mistake to define who I am rather I should always be ready to move above every failure and continue on the path of success. I could not say any other thing other than allowing tears to roll down my cheek uncontrollably.

I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth right now and I am grateful to God for giving me a man whose heart is overflowing with true love. I will never allow such a mistake to repeat knowingly or unknowingly. I cannot stop loving him because he has shown the colour of true love and the true meaning of love. Just like Jesus Christ the son of God, he took my shame and sadness and made them all his own just for me to have peace of mind. I love him even more than he can think and I want to say that I am sorry for hurting you.
