All About Her...

When push comes to shove, as always it must, the decision lies with us: Shall we stand up and fight for the one we love, or let the difficulty of the moment wrestle us into the ceaseless remorse of the one who got away?
Times will come when it seems like too much, like we've given all that we have, striven past our uttermost limits, and to no avail. But this one small fact we must always remember: It counts. Trying counts. Our sacrifices and sweet gestures matter more than we know, though we might not get the credit for them at the time, and through it all, so long as we stay true to ourselves and hold onto the dreams we have, no force, not even God, can keep us from each other, from the loves we've earned with our blood, tears and pain.
Yet perchance, upon occasion, we come to view our lives as unsatisfying, and desire to fill that void with the unknown, in such a way freshening our existence and breathing life into our discontent. This one small caution I offer. We will never realize the full value of what we've got, the amazing quality and depth of love with which we've been blessed, till it's gone.
And then how shall we endure the pain, knowing that it is self-inflicted, wrought by our own irrational urge to seek out someone better. But the fact is this.
There is no one better. And so long as we hold onto her love, guard it with our lives, we will never be incomplete, though at times we feel restless.
We find that we have something so valuable, so unbelievably rare, that we dare not lapse into the potential negligence which leads to ruin, lest we give up the primary focus of and reason for our existence.
The simple fact is, although many people love each other, date, fuck, marry, reproduce, grow old together, spend their entire lives together, the vast majority of them have found merely a soul mate.
And while "soul mate" may be the socially-accepted term for true lovers, there is something much deeper, more real and powerful than any mere coupling of souls, and that is someone who ignites our soul, and stokes the flame with their love so that it burns hotter and brighter, casts its illumination upon us so that every aspect of our life, our being, is exponentially more fulfilling, as life is truly meant to be.
We have found our soul flame, and let us never let her go.
Because no matter how much money we have, how awesome our friends may be, how great our job, our car, our creative endeavors, no matter how much temporary joy or satisfaction we may take in any of these fleeting things, in the grand scheme of things, it's really all about her.
It's all about her.
Love,
