Why did I choose to love you?

I chose you because 

you were the hardest choice

I chose you because

you had the greatest potential

I chose you because 

through you God could teach me

what I needed to learn

---

I chose you because 

you challenged me

to think outside my box

to reflect on things unknown

to empty all stored knowledge 

and start over

----

I chose you because 

you didn't love yourself

and because of that 

you could teach me how 

to love Unconditionally

compassionately, selflessly

---

I loved you without expectation 

without pride, without ego

I loved you to breaking point 

and then I loved you more

I gave until it hurt

and then I bled some more

I surrendered all I was

I loved you until I was no more

I gave until my soul was poor

---

Why did I choose to love you?

---

I chose you because 

I didn't love myself

because I didn't know 

how frightened and lost I was

I chose you because 

the love I had for Christ 

needed to be reinforced

deep rooted into my soul

---

I chose you because 

the illusions I had

needed to be shattered

I chose you because 

I didn't know 

How dormant I was 

----

I chose you because 

only with you 

could I break completely

And awaken 

In Christ consciousness
