THE TRUTH ABOUT UNDERSTANDING TRUE LOVE

My heart will always be expecting good times many hearts expect good times their future lies in expectation of positive futures there is no substance to save the soul when expectation dies There are reasons for the break but no rationale but love will always be here, everybody says Isn’t love supposed to be forever? For better or worse? Sometimes, one wonders if this is true yet we, the older ones, who have gone through the fires of sex hell, still had to let our ardor ferment The question persists, do we have true love or play love? What does it take for our love to be true love? well, true love needs time to ferment Like a good apple cider or a good cigar soaked in aged brandy play love does not need anything In that span of time, hormones will take over and go wild and understanding love is shot to the four winds to fester until true love grabs a hold of you and shows the realities of what the object of true Love is Realities that make it easier to see the truth How much love there was at the beginning or how much truth was there in your heart when you said I love you then chores and responsibilities became too much to bear and the mirages of a Hollywood romance movie evaporated Love is forged in the fires of necessity and affection Love also has its roots in affection and caring Love grows strongest where the self is subjugated to your mate It is also most powerful when one sees holiness in the home Love is forever, that is true but it has to be earned daily, grind by grind it is a blessing when we appreciate our mates and the daily burdens they endure for the family Bliss can be had if we understand that marriage is a commitment to a marathon of two lives living together unknown to each other but learning fast about life, year end and year out True love then, is a combination of sweet odors and ingrown toenails The good news is you will weather all marriage storms forever if you paid attention to the real meaning of true love and greeting it with huge smiles from lives well tried with love and understanding ingrown toe nails.
