The Sweetest Thing

The sweetest thing Ibn has ever told wasn’t a declaration of love. Nor a hollow enumeration of adjectives to describe how beautiful I am or how I am the woman of his dreams. Rather, it was a truthful, open-ended appreciation of who and what I am, general and exhaustive enough to include everything that I am and would be. He said he found it praiseworthy that I was not afraid to admit that I’m human, capable of feeling senseless envy, cold-hearted selfishness, stubborn irrationality, or any other ill feeling for that matter. That being all these bad things, I gave room for the possibility that I’m wrong sometimes and that other people aren’t always to blame. That this gave everyone and anyone the free option to take me, leave me, even hate me. That this made me truthful and credible when I claim I’m right, when I say I mean well, or when I say I love someone. Like him, for instance. And that sealed the deal for me.
