The Second Time Around

Love is such a strong emotion to me, one that I do not take for granted and something that is communicated carefully to another person. I was married for many years and once it ended I vowed not to ever marry again and although I wanted someone in my life it would not get to that level of commitment again. I loved my husband, but over the years we lost our way and things fell apart.
After two years being divorced, I have met someone and have eaten my words. I'm in love and it’s nothing like I have ever experienced before. This man is the answer to my prayers and I find myself on unfamiliar ground. He has a personal relationship with God, hard working, romantic, not afraid to express his feelings to me, smart, communicates well and open to address any issue that may arise. He is very good looking and I'm so attracted to him physically. We have been together a short period of time but there was an immediate connection that has never been experienced and I must admit I don't know how to respond at times. I talk to him and everything seems so simple; our future, dreams, goals and life together is the next step, but can it really be that cut and dry?
I ask myself, why after so many years of praying for this type of relationship now that I have it does it scare me? To have someone in my life that loves me and desires me without any reservation. I often wonder am I saying the right thing, doing the right thing, how can I keep it fun and fresh.
I have determined that I must renew my mind in how I behave in a relationship. He is not like anyone that I have ever met so I can’t act as I have in the past. I’m older now and recognize many of the things I did wrong in previous relationships and I have a sincere desire to get it right this time. It’s been 20 years since I was actively dating, I have evolved into this extremely confident woman who knows how to love a man and be the support that he needs. I know that it takes nothing away from me to encourage my man and help his dreams manifest into reality; to be in tune with his desires because I know that mine will be met as well. I have a healthy relationship that really makes me happy; one that I believe will last. I see my future with this man and look forward to what comes next.
