I love this woman. She was my mate and companion along with Gwen from December 2001 thru February 2004 and with her alone thru August of 2012. Love is messy. Love is wonderful. Deep love, however, is a choice beyond the rise and fall of temporary emotions, thoughts, and feelings as such come and go with water and wind. Love anchors the invisible and holds the tangible together in oneness. Until we allow all to fall apart. Still love her anyway, tho.
