For Ruf, on his birthday.
He hates Coldplay… but, if anybody fixed me, it was him.
Right from the start, he promised me that he would make me feel beautiful. Show me what it was like to be loved.
For three years, he was there, right behind me, building me up and putting me back together, only to watch my family pull me apart again but he couldn’t let himself fall in love with me.
It is, now, almost a year since the strength of his support meant that I had become strong enough to start breaking the bonds that tied me to a man who could and would rip me to shreds with a cursory gesture… without even a backwards glance at the destruction in his wake.
Despite the way it may appear, it has not always been one-way traffic from Ruf to me.
In the last six months, without the shadow of the elephant in the room, he says he has overcome some of his own demons.
And learned how to love me and express that love for me without inhibition or fear.
Knowing that he really is in love with me. Hearing his devotion uttered on a daily basis.
He is like the rock upon which I can build my future.
He makes me feel whole.
Happy Birthday x
“He makes me feel whole”…………..well that sums up “love”, for me! And to overcome demons through the love of another is an awesome thing. The love and support you both give each other shows your devotion and the depth of what you have. But you already know that…
Happy birthday, Ruf, have a great one!
Oh baby…….
“Lights will guide you home”
I get it. Much healing love sweet ones.

That part made me smile so big. This was a lovely post. I don’t care much for Coldplay either but they do have a few songs I really like. This is one of them. XoXo.
Happy Birthday, Ruf!
