Forgotten Argument

She sees but black. He sees only white. She sees the day. He sees the night. Both firmly convinced without any doubt that the other knows nothing of what they're talking about. She will not bend. Neither will he. She says, "It Is." He says, "It can't be." Both are stubborn as mules. Both do remain strong for only one can be right and the other, dead wrong. Two hearts that once loved, now distant and weak. Differences unsolved they no longer speak. How can two walk together unless they agree? Their pride kept intact as they both are set free. Now aged, looking back 'cross the shadowy years, she can only recall his face, through her tears. As his memory now finds her still there in his heart, and neither remembers why they grew apart. She saw only black. He saw only white. She said, "You are wrong." He insisted, "I'm right." Both went separate ways. Now, too late, comes the doubt as they wonder… "What was it that we argued about?"

Hello Ron, I never argued when my husband was shouting at me. I told him I do not argue , I prefer to talk about it instead. so he would pout for an hour, then we would talk about the situation. I n the morning. Enjoy your weekend. My friend. /Darlene./

Thanks Tom! I've been fortunate, my late first wife, and my current wife of over twenty years, have never argued. We talk everything out, I've always believed that love and anger cannot coexist in the same heart. I wish you peace and joy in all things. Thanks for stopping by! Ron
