Pain of Love

Hold On To Her

I love…
…that you are focused on improving yourself and resolving your past. In each way you heal and grow, my heart, mind and soul are positively affected simply by being allowed to bear witness to your efforts.

Jamaican singer, songwriter, musician and poet Bob Marley
She loved before
she may love again.
But if she loves you now,
what else matters?
She’s not perfect –
you aren’t either,
and the two of you
may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh,
cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human
and making mistakes,
hold onto her
and give her the most you can.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she’s not there.

When It All Falls Down

I love…
…that we get along as well as we do and don’t have painful fights.  Everything is not always perfect, but our love and respect for each other helps us work well through the rough spots.

“I Want to…” by Jenna
I want to stare into your eyes
And never look away;
I want you to hold me in your arms
And tell me it’s okay;
I want to kiss with a passion
That only we can share,
And when it all falls down
I want you to be there.

That Dragon Which Slays Love

I remember…
…wishing you would not get so jealous.  There was never a reason except those you imagined.  You were the one I loved then and still do today even though you threw me away.  
 
From “On Life and Sex” by Havelock Ellis, 1937
Jealousy,
That dragon
Which slays love
Under the pretense
Of keeping it alive.
