Vows

I have recently been in awe, feeling overwhelmed, my heart being somewhere again. I haven't' had a feeling like this for some time. Finding something I lost I threw it away and discarded it. But it wasn't a simple item. It wasn't anything that didn't have worth. It was valuable. It was more precious than gold or silver. But at the time, I was a fool, I was wrong. At one point I was going to make promises. Promises that were supposed to last forever. They were to mean something, carry weight. When in fact I failed, crashing and burning. Ruining the relationship I had, with who I loved. I walked away, before words could be spoken. I dared not give promises I couldn't keep. The problem was, I thought these words, were only given in marriage. The vows, although spoken, should already be practiced before you get to ceremony. Those promises should already be kept, already fulfilled, already said beforehand. They should be kept from the very beginning til death takes you. Those promises promote trust, building the relationship, making it stronger, as you reach marriage. You need to understand your words, and what you promise, so your words have weight and meaning. You need to practice your wedding vows.
