And for my wife

Posted by paxvox on May 1, 2003, at 20:53:39

If I've managed to learn anyting at all from what we've done, it's that even though it fills the cracks and crevices and mends the tattered souls, still we're each the other's nemesis, and two halves do not always make a whole. And though you know I've often heard it said that we're made of sterner stuff, love is not enough, love is not enough.

And all the things I left unsaid assuming that you knew, as if there were no question but that you could read my mind; and all the times I shut you out and left you hanging - me deaf dumb and blind; and though we vowed to stick it out through the easy and the rough, love is not enough, love is not enough.

And all the stupid games we played to save our tarnished prides, as if it really mattered which of us was wrong or right; and even as we stood and watched it fall apart, I loved you with all my might. And though the heroes in the paperbacks always wind up in the buff, love is not enough, love is not enough.

Very true, but the key is willingness, which means a surrender of control. The only thing she has left is control over NOT doing certain things. That IS her control. Love is a powerful force only when unconditional, any other application is time-specific. I am trying to learn that it is THAT kind of commitment that I have made, and intend to honor, or try as hard as I humanly can. Thanks.
