Whereabouts?

Love that causes my heart to "make it in spite of myself",
Kindness that overcomes my vanity;
Confidence that transcends the anguish I inflict,
Protection that knows no bounds;
Whereabouts?

To have been a recipient of all these, in itself I consider a feat.

Turns out that the decision to let you into my life changed everything. Your love is like sunshine: subtle yet liberating. I can no longer bear darkness, and because you know, I have not had to deal with it ever since. You look beyond my failings, no, you love me for every part of me. Whereas my clothes appear gawdy to others, you compliment my matching abilities; while others put me down for my obsessions that they do not understand, you listen to me. And for the things you grasp, your comments are always witty. For those you do not, you never try to outsmart me. It is this quiet confidence that I have come to admire, and now find difficult to leave.

I truly do not deserve any of this. Where did you come from, and why for me? It is a blessing I do not dare question, but will fiercely cherish for what is.
