Close your eyes for a moment. Seriously. Close your eyes. Not long. Maybe five to six seconds. While you are doing so, I would like for you to take three very deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling everything else that may be on your mind right now. Push everything aside before reading what I am about to say next. Make sure you are alone and able to concentrate completely. Close your eyes now.
Yes, right now. Close your eyes and take deep breaths.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Open your eyes and imagine something for me. I want you to imagine the deepest love you have ever felt before, a love without pain or hurt. I want you to imagine that love in it’s purest form, before doubt, before heartache. It doesn’t matter when or with whom the love was with or for, just imagine it. I want you to imagine how it felt to love. Imagine what it felt like to be loved back. And just hold that thought for a moment. Remember it. Pure love. Innocent love.
Marlon loves you in that way.
Don’t let go of the memory yet. I want you to try and remember where exactly you felt this pure and deep and innocent love. When you experienced this love, where did the feelings come from? Did you feel it in your stomach? Or did you feel a tingling in your chest? Or was it the thoughts that traveled around in your mind? I want you to remember where you actually felt this love and I want you to place your hand there. I want you to tell me so I can eventually touch you there as well, so that I too can place my hand on the place where your love goes.
Marlon loves you there.
I need for you to concentrate a moment on the feeling that love gave you. If you take a moment to think about it, I’m gambling that you can also tell me what color this love was, what color that feeling was. I know it sounds crazy but just think about it a moment. When you think about the deepest love you have ever known, when you put your hand over the place on your body where you could actually feel this love, can you also put a color to it as well? When you are thinking about this love, what color comes to mind if you had to choose one? Is it light blue? Is it green? Is it red? No matter what the color is, I want you to remember it and tell me. Let that color be bright and radiant in your mind right now. Hold onto it.
Marlon’s love is the same color.
Imagine me now, reaching deep inside of you and using my fingers to paint your entire body with that very same color. Imagine my hands massaging that love, that color, all over your heart, your soul, your being. Can you feel the color spreading throughout your entire being? Can you feel yourself being painted with love this very moment? You are my canvas, and I would like the chance to spend the rest of my life painting a masterpiece on your soul. I would like the chance to dedicate the rest of my life to finding new and exciting ways to make you happy. I would like the chance to one day be the man that you call your husband.
Marlon loves you completely.
“Me and you forever.”
Imagine the tree in the back yard that we carve those words into. Imagine the grandkids that will eventually look at those words and laugh. Imagine a household where your thoughts and opinions and feelings matter. Imagine having someone by your side that supports your decision and encourages you as you pursue your career and dreams. Imagine a relationship where you get to support your man’s dream to become a writer. Imagine a chance to have a solid family unit, mommy and daddy going to PTA meetings, softball games, doctor appointments, school plays, high school graduation, and college graduation. Imagine a world where our kids gets exposed to different cultures, places, and people; a world where they grow up honestly knowing that they can become anything they want in life. Imagine a situation where you never have to struggle again to make ends meet, where your major decisions will be made based on time instead of money. Imagine having someone you trust so completely that you can be your true self around him, someone who is willing to love you in spite of your imperfections and insecurities. Imagine being able to talk about anything with him without ever being judged or condemned, all by a man who wants to take the time to learn who you really are. Imagine a relationship so strong your man will never cheat on you or hurt you intentionally. Imagine a love so powerful that his happiness is based on yours, his pleasure intensified only when you have found pleasure. Imagine never feeling satisfied or complete until the arms of your man is around you. Imagine always feeling safe and secure, knowing that your king will defend his kingdom to the death.
Marlon loves you.
I’ve asked you to imagine these things because they are a portion of the endless possibilities that we have in front of us, they are a few of the things that our relationship has to offer. How much are those possibilities worth to us? How much are we prepared to sacrifice for the relationship to become a reality and reach its full potential? How much are we prepared to give each other, how much are we prepared to take away from each other? How much are we willing to deal with and take in the name of our love?
Imagine. Just imagine,….then let me know if this is possible for us.
Love
Marlon
