*April 30, 2003
Held in the grip of love it never occured to me that marriage was not of fate--that we were perfectly right for each other's hand. Deceived by what we were seeing, by the perceptions we had of each other's inner being. We knew our love was no fad. She thought me more spiritual; I thought her more happy. We saw marriage as eventual and our love could not be more sappy. I had always heard that saying 'You think you know someone till you marry' I thought I knew what I was getting. I didn't. The saying seems to carry. Worse yet--I didn't know myself.

Problem is who you are now and who she is now are not the same people you were then. People change over time. Great poem J.
