Where Does The Love Go
Love is not what you think it is
and braking up never really is
Like the water that rises in the sky
and comes down again
The rain only stops
but never goes away
and always comes back
another day
And it is without the rain
the earth becomes lifeless and dry
Though it might hurt you
and make you cry
Be thankful for the rain
without it you might die
You might think it is over
until you discover
it comes over you again
And don’t you fret
if it makes you wet
It is the moisture
that most all of life grows by

I wrote this last night attending my son’s graduation with my x wife.? Trust me when I say that Love is not something we make.? We vainly believe that we love other people but the truth is, the love was always there we just decided to notice.? Because love is not a person, place or thing and its not something we do, but something that comes over us.
I think I’m pretty smart when it comes to love but I only know a portion of the basics.? It astounds me and catches me off guard.? It is my guess that love is a force that binds life together and that is just a guess.
“She asked me if I still drink herbal tea and I said some, but mostly just coffee as I pretended not to notice that she was remembering the first night we spent together, a conversation I don’t believe her current husband would appreciate.”
Basically, we don’t decide to love someone and live with them happily ever after and if any of you out there have failed at this fairy tale that we have been taught?? They might tell you that you have personality problems, issues with your parents, a problem with commitments.? Well, don’t beat yourself up, I’m here to tell you they are full of SHIT.? Any of you out there who have succeeded with this fairytale, well I’m happy for you and hope you are happy and you’re not staying together because you’re supposed to, and if you are happy, you are the blessed exception. When it comes to love, there are no rules, when we understand this, we can live more peacefully together, throwing out the fairytale and not blaming ourselves and each other for not abiding by the rules that someone else created for us, because LOVE, my fellow readers does not follow rules.? When we throw out the fairytale, we might actually have fewer divorces.? You know, because when you love someone else, you’re supposed to get a divorce because you can’t love two people, for some crazy reason that’s a crime and THEY will tell you that you have to make a choice.? What they want us to do is pretend and not be real, that’s what they’re telling you.? I’m telling you, they are insane, they are the ones who need mental help, they are fucking crazy, I’m sure there is a pill for this mania of theirs. Be real, be yourself, and don’t beat yourself up for it or anybody else.? Stand up for your right to be you and for those who don’t like it, that’s their problem, don’t make it yours.
