RFW Coming Home

Delaney was waiting by the window. She was so excited she could hardly sleep. It had been 8 months since she last saw Derek. His boyish smile and sandy brown hair. He had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen.

They had gotten married just three years before in front of a judge. But, Delaney didn't get to see him as often as she would have liked to because Derek was in prison. He did the crime and was sent to prison. He was a changed man. Delaney suspected he always had a good heart he just was taken off the right path when his father died.

It had sent him into depression and drug abuse. After that everything went down hill for Derek. He got into trouble with the law for stealing a car to sell for drug money. He admitted he did a terrible thing.

Now 10 years later he was finally coming home. Delaney's stomach was in knots with both excitement and nervousness. She had been waiting for this moment since they first got together.

It was spring and the sun was out. But, it was raining and Delaney thought it would be fitting to have a rainbow on the day her baby came home to her.

It was 11 AM and she saw him walking up the driveway with a  bag filled with the stuff he could carry home with him. Delaney smiled and a tear of happiness fell from her hazel eyes.

He saw her looking out the window. She was going to wait for him to come inside but instead she pushed open the door and jumped into his arms knocking him down on the grass. She kissed his soft lips with her's. This was another moment she had been dreaming of. When she could be in his arms just the two of them no guards watching or other inmates. Just the two of them free to love each other.

Derek smiled and Delaney kissed him again. Derek picked Delaney up and carried her over the threshold. Something he couldn't do the day they got married. He looked into her eyes and she knew that things where finally going to be okay.

RFW Surrender

I surrender to his warm embrace
I surrender to his sweet kisses
All the tender moments I  surrender to
I surrender to my racing heart beat when he is near me
I surrender to his loving arms
I surrender my heart to him
I surrender everything that I am
It is because of him
So I surrender it all to my dear sweet man

RFW Forgiven!

She opened up the book and looked at there old pictures. She remembered the way he would caress her cheek. She knew he was a liar and a cheater. A jerk who only cared about himself. All he cared about was drinking and hanging out with his friends. She always felt like she came in second best to him.

One night he came over and told her how sorry he was. She took him back once again and fell into his strong arms. She loved the way he smelled. The way he held her. She felt safe when she was in his arms. When she was alone she felt so depressed. She knew that he was no good for her but she loved him since she was 15 years old. he was her first love.

They say that your first love is the strongest love you ever have for someone. She never thought she could ever love anyone else like she loves him.

Even though he would make her cry and all the lies he blatantly told her like she was a fool. Many times she felt like she was a fool for once again trusting him only to be let down time and time again.

Then one day she met someone else. He had been her friend for years. They had grown closer over the years and he didn't like the way she was being treated. He finally let his guard down and told her how he felt about her. She always had a crush on him because he was adorable and charming. In many ways he reminded her of her love. But, secretly she knew she was falling in love with him too.

She said she would give him a chance to prove his love for her and to be her knight in shining armor. He swept her off her feet and she was head over heels in love with him. She finally had the courage to leave the guy that had always mistreated her with his words and actions. She felt free for the first time in a long time. In this freedom she learned forgiveness. She no longer held onto the hardness that was in her heart for so long. All the tears had made her jaded and she finally knew she could let it go. Forgive and remember only the happy times but not ever go back to him. To make a new life with her knight.
