Tonight while talking with a friend about all kinds of stuff, I had a very sudden realization of the importance of faces.
Face 1, I loved you while running full steam ahead and assuming the best. When you stopped loving me, I learned to look around and not ignore the signs that it won't work out. You taught me that love cannot ever be real love unless it is based on really truly seeing someone for who they are, warts and all. Thank you.
Face 2, I saw everything in you that wasn't perfect, but I made a choice to love you anyway. I think you did the same with me, but we never did it at the same time, and it's really for the best anyway. You taught me that one person can love another person with every ounce of being, but that will never ever be enough if that love is not given back in equal measure. You taught me by experiencing it from me and then letting me experience it myself. Thank you.
My shame is based on the idea of permanence in the petty and painful. Knowing this, I am better equipped to fight it.
Once again, I love Craigslist!
