Am I going to see you again? Don’t ask and I won’t tell

Let’s love each other just today. Let’s not worry about the next minute or hour or day or year or lifetime let’s share this moment and this moment alone.

May you and I feel comfortable together. May you and I have the patience, foresight, and gratefulness, to accept the limitations of our love. May we have the maturity and wisdom to know we won’t always feel good or content. May we accept the truth.

May we decide to develop a special love. A love that consists of mutual respect, admiration, affection, but most of all an acceptance of humanity and its limitations.

Love is an ass

May we understand that love is an ass. A totally unpredictable, sometimes fleeting, unfair, uncontrollable, beast. We get what it gives…and not one drop more.

One person’s deeply broken heart is another person’s pathway to freedom. And as painful as it is, if we don’t accept it, we will spend our lives wondering why someone who once loved us, no longer does. And the only thing worse than spending your life searching for an answer that doesn’t exist is obsessing on something you cannot control or change.
