These days, I hurt. I hurt for all of us who love has gone awry. Just out of reach. Thinking things were ok, no, good, no actually promising. Then comes that text or those words that pierce the armour. And before you know it, youre walking at the lake by yourself, and no hits the tennis ball back. Days drag on, nights drag more. You need to apologize to Spring as her sunny days try to cheer you up. You mope in private yet you are the witty, fun, charismatic one. There is no desire to go out. So, you listen to songs and the words flood your memory Of places, laughter, trips, people, music, concerts, jokes and tears. Breakfast isnt the same and you think it was fun making the whole bed instead of just one side. The phone doesnt ring, texts dont light up the screen and the silence is deafening. Only He can rescue you. People need to realize that there are no perfect people. Its whats on the inside that that counts. Ask Gwenyth or Jennifer or countless others. Ask your neighbor crying at the stop light or coworker w/rosy cheeks and eyes that well up in an instant. I know life isnt fair and I know that both sides need to take responsibility. But dang if the moments apart couldnt be better used, holding, kissing or dreaming. All this to say, value the one in your arms. Sometimes I think they drive you away, just to see how hard youll fight to stay. Thats a dangerous game, cuz one day that loyal person will figure thats what you want. Tell your special someone, I Love You! Mean it, show it. Show it every day, in every way. Im told they sell flowers in the other 51 weeks around Valentines Day. Visit them. Chocolates are nice too. Wine may be welcomed and running her a hot bath while you prepare supper cant hurt. A surprise Love note over the visor or in her pocket would be a nice. But more important, I think, are talks of tomorrow. The security of planning your lives together. The energy, the anticipation the blessings of what are to come. Embracing helps, a passionate 60 second kiss is a good start, squeezing even tighter when she starts to let go, or even wrap your arms around her from behind and just hold her...for as long as you can until you just have to kiss her neck. The Lord made us to be compatible, to be together. It is His design that we should be. That we obey Him and have things in abundance. These are all choices. They are dependent upon behavior and actions, not words. Otherwise, perhaps there would be less hurt in the world, fewer broken hearts, less damage to ourselves, and no wouldve, couldve, shouldve. It takes practice and effort. We have the perfect How-To book and we should read it together. Maybe then there would be not so many alone tonight.
