Liquid Love

I cannot tell you openly how much i love you.
You'll drown.

For my love is an ocean and you ..  are not a good swimmer yet. Which is why you come sailing in my waters safely detached in a boat .. and then go away again back to your shore. And though i understand your heart ... i miss you.

I cannot show you openly  how much i love you.
It will be a wave that crashes down on you .. and sweeps you away. So i stay silent .. loving you in secret.

Instead like rain...
I will sneak up on you from the oceans as a cloud .. and descend in measured droplets..
I will drench you, enveloping you in the fullness of my love ... for we both know rain isn't permanent ... and that makes you feel safe.

Then we will dance for a while.. in utter joy. And I will flow back to whence i came from... sated and complete.

For ours ..  is a Liquid Love. 
Like water, it changes shape and form .. but always remains in its true essence.. a love nonetheless.

i am an ocean of love..and like an ocean, i am here to stay ... always changing, always the same ..
take strength from knowing ...  i know you love me too ~

Commitment = Dancing in the Rain

Too many people only decide whether they like their partner's strengths..but that's actually not even a decision. That's merely falling in love. Staying in love is deciding whether you are okay with your partner's flaws.

I think that's what committed relationships are really about. Can i 'put up' with someone's weaknesses as well as i 'put up' with their strengths? That's what we really need to decide in forming a long term partnership: "Can i LIVE with YOUR 'FLAWS' knowing you may work on them or not, and that even if you work on them..just because you love me enough to try..they may never go away?"

If you can say yes to that..and mean it, you'll both get through the storms that WILL come. Rain is inevitable..it's a law of nature. Better just to choose your umbrella upfront..then you can dance in the rain ♥

Imperfect

Love is a CHOICE. Every road you take HAS a happy ending - but there are always mountains to climb midway REGARDLESS of the road you choose.

But if it's a road we are more comfortable to travel, that resonates with us strongly - then the Mountains become WORTH climbing and we are less likely to judge, quit, complain, b lame but far more likely to be creative, channel the power of gratitude and gain comfort of solid friendships to see us through ~ ♥

There are no PERFECT relationships on earth. No matter WHO you link up with, there are bound to be really difficult moments between as our romantic partners are the Mirrors life gives us - the ones that reflect OUR imperfections all too clearly...

And not the perfect love of our partners, but only SELF LOVE..the Love that springs from WITHIN ourselves out into the world ...has the REAL POWER to smooth our imperfections away and help us evolve into more beautiful hearts here on earth ~
