Love is Never Easy

In so many ways love is the hardest thing of all to live with. You want so much for the person you love and any time things fall short you feel like you have let them down. Love fills every part of you and does not let go and no two are ever alike. It does not matter how many relationships you have had in the past or what they were like. The one you find yourself in now is not like any you have ever been in before.

I am not the person I was before and I do not act like the person I was before today. I will never get it all right all the time. Yet the funny thing about love is that you both want to and know it does not matter. Love allows you to go beyond that which you see to that which you feel and fear rides high in the saddle. Fear to hold and fear to lose both run wild most days and you have to learn to ride that wild horse and tame that fear.

Only the Divine knows why two people are brought together and it is their job to be the best they can be for the other. Only they know what that best is and it is rarely what we think it is. For myself the best my love can be for me is to be my love. The love of another is the one thing that I have missed for so long in life. It is that love that feeds my soul and frees me to dream and sore to heights I had never imagined possible. No greater gift could I ever receive and have received it in full measure. I can only hope that I am able to give to her that which she needs most from me in the same amount.

Keep the dream alive and you will remain alive.
