I have a fascination with Valentine's Day and with love in general. I loved the story of Snow White as a child...
Lust is easy to find, but love is so elusive that once you find it, you don't want to let it go.
How do you hold onto it?
Honestly, when you find it political chic, you will know.
And there is no holding on to it, it's more like there is no separating from it...it's just there, forever for the both of you....
through sickness and through health and thru the good and bad....the disappointments.
You just know that no matter what gets thrown at ya, the two of you are ONE....
you hurt when they hurt, you are joyous when they are joyous, on both sides of the relationship....and it is not even something that has to be worked at, it just IS.
Do you let eachother down throughout your life together in various different ways? Sure, from time to time....
but none of that matters, and you know it doesn't matter, you know you will be there for each other because you are "in this" forever.... you truly have a better understanding of the two, becoming one.
Total submission of one another, to one another other....you don't work on that...it just happens, to the both of you and the sense of security that comes with that, is unable to be put in to words....
and as vulnerable of a position that may seem to put yourself in, it is what also allows you to grow in to ONE and give you that security that even if you flubbed up or your spouse flubs up it will be just a blip in the over all love story of you....the one unit of you.
One Love that is inseparable, forever....
