God in the Lover

Time is of limited importance here
Where infinity meets rational love-
In the midst of a troubled world, full of humility and despair...

I yearn to stand before God and thank Him for you,
Praise him for you,
In the best and most wondersome way I know how.

I vow to love you when the seas have gone dry
And the mountains have wept-
When all is but an inkling of forefathers, a blinking eye unseen,
I will stand with you.
Beside you-
A part of you;
As the will of Light decrees it.

Even in the deepest beating, the most serious of endeavors,
Or the most lighthearted distractions of sweet, unbelievable joy-
You complete me...
There is nothing else.

- Me, on the most amazing man in my life.

Love is the most searched for, agonized over, bled over, intangible, tangible thing the world has ever known. Think of what you have done in your personal life for love- either in attempts to keep it, or preserve it- or perhaps create it in someone out of desperation; in hopes of life long happiness, of being fixed. We have all done it, on some scale, and at some point- and many of us, if not all of us, are going to do it time and time again. But when we hit it right- when we really look in to the heart of the Universe, of our creator and his creation, and fall in love for all the right reasons, in the right moment- you have what many call, "true love"- and that certainly is an accurate description. We are all different in what we want and what we need, when it comes to the specifics of the vague translation that love takes in our lives. When those baser needs, those most basic of functions, desires and wishes are met, we identify this as love; falling in love, being in love, loving someone, being loved. But- when this love, when these needs, transcend rational likelihood; finding that perfect match, that completing side, that person who carries you without question, who walks with you in every area of your life, fearless and devout to you, and the union between you, that takes on a whole new breath. You unite with this person, and the old you cannot help but be made better and it cannot help but be fulfilled- because you are being blessed in the most tremendous fashion, in the most unbelievable way. It is in this moment that you know, down in your deepest depths, that God loves you enough to take the time to create this person to walk beside you, to give you your chance encounter, or your perfect meeting- and he could have easily forgotten you, or ignored you, beneath the roar of an angry, bitter world, screaming for his attention.

The best relationship advice I ever got was from my stepfather. "Keep God in the cross hairs of your relationships, especially when you find your soul mate- because they WILL be taken from you. Death comes for us all, and all of our actions have consequences. God replaces these things with love." My mother is his 3rd marriage, and he is her 4th. It is as if there has been no one before in their lives. They are made new again in the transference of such a love.

How amazing.
