Honor thy marriage, for it was conceived from above.
Honor thy spouse who was received in love.

How could I have let happen what happened to me?
How could my heart have become so care free?

I was always quick to judge people whose hearts went astray.
Condemning affairs as wrong, for these people I'd pray.

It scares me to know that if given the chance,
I would have risked all for you for my heart to have danced.

And I now understand now how things happen and come to be.
And wonder to this day if I wouldn't have left when I did would it have happened to me?

What scares me the most, what I believe is true.
Is that whenever I'm left to my own solitude,
I believe I am still in love with you.

Welcome back sister Gemini...
in your words of honesty wrapped in cadence I find my own reflections between the lines.
my grandmother always used to share the wisdom passed down...
"never jugde another till you've touched their pain, for only then can you understand their reasons."
Good to see you here again...congrats on your 1000th post

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through,
There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking,
I passed that point long ago.
