It is one thing to woo your lover with the flicker of a candlelight dinner;
it is astonishingly different to look deeply with her, into her wants, desires, aspirations, dreams, and insecurities.
What gives the little girl within Her a girlish laugh? And the dimple in the corner of her mouth when she smiles?
What lights her eyes?
And which miscalculations of yours flood her eyes with tears of disappointment?
And are you milling to muster enough sincerity to even attempt an apology that renews and even strengthens love?
Some scheme for the quick gratification of sexual orgasm, not knowing that Relationship means a lifetime of moments spent together–negotiating, building together, creating or sometimes destroying trust, just to realize a moment later that your life is not whole without Her…
I am coming to know that Relationship means a lifelong meditation on love.
May Love Bring Peace,
