The man I want to share the rest of my life with responded to one of my poems posted on this blog. It was from January 29, 2009, Will you still love me?
I will share his response (permission granted), but first here is mine again:
Will you still love me
if I fail to say the words you want to hear
Will you still love me
if I don't meet up to your fantasies
Will you still love me
if things don't turn out the way you wanted
Will you still find a way to love me
when you find yourself falling out of love with me
When you say you love me, will you still love me for the rest of your life?

And now here is my beloved's response:
I will still love you
if you fail to say the words I want to hear
for your truth pierces me and your honesty speaks to my heart
I will still love you
if you don't meet up to 'my' fantasies
for a dream that is shared is worth twice one imagined alone
I will still love you
if things don't turn out the way I wanted
for I know I am but a fallible man
I'd rather navigate this life together to get to where we've planned
I will still find a way to love you
if I find myself falling out of love with you
for what we've got has got good bones. a love planted so firmly in the heart is not so easily uprooted.
When I say I love you, I will still love you for the rest of my life.
Which I hope will end one day before you
so I know not what it's like to live without your love.
~ Uriel
Lucky are we that our souls united! I love this man, Mr. Uriel Gonzalez!
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same"
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies"
