A Triangular Relationship

Once, you made my heart flutter with your every smile
Once, you lit my smile with your twinkled eyes
Once, your very presence gave me comfort and contentment
There was nothing I wanted more than to sit with you,
talk to you, look at you, hold your hands, see your smile, hear your laughter
Once, my heart was all yours,
the pleasure when you brushed your lips against mine was so contagious
it spread to the tip of my fingers.
Once, you made my soul so full it was a joy giving you all I had

But you couldn't hold up
You said my love was too much you couldn't savor it
My chatters too long it burnt your ears
My excitement too overbearing it tires you
My companion endlessly bore you off

You said you love me but it was just too much
I gave too much
I asked too much
Too much of your time, your attention, your love

I'm tired
Tired of expecting, of waiting, of anticipating
Tired of disappointing, and being disappointed
Is this worth striving for?

This was actually written several weeks ago. In the midst of life, chasing the standard set by the world and endlessly striving to fulfill our own expectations, we failed to grasp what's most important. At times of grief and tears, we blamed each other and ourselves when we couldn't find ways to our problems and core to our pain. We almost gave up when nothing seems right. We had forgotten the one savior who had been pateintly waiting for us to turn ourselves to Him, to let Him take our loads. At the deepest pit of our relationship, God talked to us and reminded us the must do in a relationship. To walk together in the light of God. To grow closer to Him, and we shall grow closer to each other. In His embrace, He shall take care of whatever needed to be taken care of. Our path took a new turning from there. There is still squabble every now and then but we know things are going to be alright because he will be leading us. A third party who is most welcomed and a must presence in a relationship =)
