History of You and Me: A Poem-Like Thing

    I love you

    You love me.

    But: that does not mean that I don't avoid letting you down.

    But: that doesn't mean that I cannot make you feel loved, secure, and hopeful for all things.

    Or some things.

    Hopeful for some things. The essential things. The most important things.

    We know, to varying degrees, that only God can make us hopeful in all things. 

    Love. Respect. Honor. Virtue. Hard work. Attraction. Chemistry. Good humor. Devotion.

    What is our history? 

    I have not given enough. I must give more. 

    You always give, you are not selfish. 

    You give and give and give.

    The former president says that he is in a debt to his wife.

    I understand that.

    I get it. And the president has been much more successful.

    Arguably. No doubt.

    So, I have to be a better guy, better husband, father, provider, protector.

    This is the history of you and me.

    And I pray that it does not end soon, nor will it ever.

    We have today, tomorrow, and next week, and next month.

    Yes?

    Thank you for saying yes.
