💌 Our gap is about ten years but still I love him,
He's one of Allah's gifts to me - my inspiration.
In many ways we're different but we're both lessons,
I teach him our religion; he teaches me patience.

If a critic claims "you married a loser", I say,
"My husband lost himself in me; we're one to this day.
He's my soulmate I believe - love him for Allah's sake.
Our love is firmly fixed though to some it's not portrayed."
~•~
Let my husband commit mistakes - Like me, he's human.
Everlastingly you forgive when you love someone.
Though he's not the most ideal man nor very handsome,
Loving him makes me ignore all his imperfections.
~•~
The love I have for my man is strongly fierce yet tamed
So much so when I see couples put on PDA,
Instantly I recall my spouse and love escalates -
Loyalty embraces me as I long for my bae.
~•~
To Allah I pray that this marriage stays a blessing,
A journey my spouse and I take to reach Jannah's Gates,
With our love struggles to expiate our sins. Ameen.
When you love your spouse truly, they're worth the tears and wait.
