This is the literary voice of Sabrina Ellis, the main character of  “A Choice of a Lifetime.”

I have something that I want to share with the universe. My heart demands I declare it like a news bulletin. So, here it is: I’m in love!

I know many women make this proclamation when they get a new man. Some skeptics might roll their eyes and dismiss me as acting like a melodramatic teen. Well, I’m thirty-two years old. So, I’m quite a few years removed from adolescence! Furthermore, I possess the emotional maturity to recognize true love.

I’m just simply in love! Cupid struck his arrow in me and made me fall in love. And with Mr. Right at that.

That’s right, ladies. Fate brought Mr. Right to my door. He embodies every quality I desire in a soulmate. He’s the type of partner women dream about on lonely nights.

And let’s be honest, ladies: What woman hasn’t lain in bed at night and dreamed of having a good man at her side? What woman doesn’t want a lover who’ll shower her with passionate kisses and never-ending love? I dreamed of having a deep, meaningful relationship for years, and now it has become a beautiful reality.

Let me tell you a little bit about my dream guy. His name is Dr. Myron Green. He’s forty-five years old. He’s a successful ophthalmologist. He’s a homeowner with good credit. He’s divorced with no kids. And he’s sexy enough to make People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” list. Good catch, eh? I certainly think so; in fact, he’s my greatest blessing since moving to Atlanta.

What really makes Myron Mr. Right is that he respects me as a woman. He understands that as a woman, I have self-worth that is not to be devalued by his masculinity. I won’t stand for it! He hears my voice and respects its worthiness.

Plus, he publicly acknowledges me as his lady with his gentlemanly gestures. He opens the door for me every time we approach it. He holds my hand. And he gives me tender kisses without giving a damn to who’s looking. His eyes are expressive in love when he says, “I love you, Sabrina, baby.”

I feel cherished and valued  — whether he’s loving me in or out of bed, which by the way, he does very well. Everything by Dr. Myron Green is done in love, baby. I’m in good hands.

Ladies, I ain’t gonna lie. Myron is an exceptional gem. I haven’t always had this kind of relationship, though.

I’ve had my share of jack-shit relationships. You know, the usual type: substance addicts, possessive, verbal abusers, mama’s boys. I got tired of men with criminal records as long as their arms. I was sick of the guys who specifically stopped by late at night for booty visits and left before sunrise.

I just got tired of having these companionship options as my so-called lovers!

My last boyfriend was the worst, though. He did the ultimate betrayal. The disrespect made me swear off relationships … the low-down bastard and that hoe of a friend! I wanted to burn their asses up, but they weren’t worth my freedom. Instead, I decided to bail out on love and be alone.

And then came Myron. My sweet, darling Myron. He changed my heart���better yet, he won it. He made me fall in love. I willingly released all the toxic energy within my soul from those crazy exes to let this good man in.                                                                

Myron understands heartache, too. His shattered marriage has made him skeptical of love. Fortunately, our loving union has transformed our beliefs about love’s existence. This and our difficult childhoods deepen our bond as a couple.

There’s something else about Myron worth mentioning. He never hesitates to open his wallet and spend his money on me. Whether it’s fine dining or expensive jewelry, he buys it for me. His platinum credit card is a magic wand granting me whatever I wish.

My man is also financially generous whenever I face money challenges. For example, if I’m having car trouble, Myron has me covered like an insurance policy. He just opens his wallet, and boom! It’s paid in full.

He does all this out of love for me.

While I appreciate all this, especially having had a rough, impoverished childhood, that’s not why I love Myron. He’s just a good man. He makes me feel dear to his heart.

As we progress, I’m confident we’ll define our relationship into a more definite status, like marriage. I would love to be Mrs. Myron Green! It would be a dream come true, not because of the financial gain but because I love this man with all my heart. 

I would love an outdoor wedding in spring or fall, as long as it’s not summer.  Anyone from Atlanta knows the summers here are filled with bugs and heat!

Regardless of what season we marry, there’s one thing for sure: I will have a husband I can depend on. Every single word in those wedding vows will be taken to heart by him. He proves that now. I see no red flags that he’d be different otherwise.

If you’re wondering whether we want children, the answer is no. We just want to love each other. A childless couple can be just as happy as parents – maybe happier!

To bring it all home, our love is as beautiful as colorful butterflies dancing in the air, like sweet-scented daffodils swaying in the breeze. Just as butterflies and daffodils are God’s visual gifts to us, Myron and I’s love is our God-sent gift, too – to each other.

My darling Myron and I are united in our hearts and souls. I love my man, honey, just as he loves me. We’re the real deal at this beautiful thing called  love.
