Don't Give Up

The emotions.
The voices.
The hurt.
The tears.

When their is a meeting of two minds, there are bound to be two strong spirits that clash.

Two eagles flying side-by-side all of a sudden go head-to-head. There is a conflict, something that needs to be resolved. The eagles are strong. Too strong for each-other. Someone has to give, but who?

When something happens to us, we want to "clear it up", we want to "get things settled". But how do you settle things if the other eagle will not budge, or break or show emotion? What does one do?

I came into this marriage hoping for the best and I have received the best. But at times like these, I really can't believe that marriages work. I can see how people bail. The conflict is just too painful. The tears and the headaches hurt too much. The blind leading the blind is really what marriage is, neither party knows what they are really doing.

But we can't give up, too many do. We won't give up, because we both promised each-other that we wouldn't. We love each-other, we are dedicated to each-other. We won't always like each-other, but we will always love each-other.
The blind have to ask for directions.

"Don't Give Up" by Sanctus Real

I heard you say you would love for a lifetime
Now you complain a lifetime just doesn't feel right for you
Another casualty of casual love
Another soul out of place, a heart that gave up

Why do we break the promises we make?
Are we living for ourselves?

[Chorus:]
Don't give up on love and throw it all away
Don't give up on love and let it fall away
When did it become so easy to run from your pain
Don't give up on love and throw it all away

I heard you say you can't change a stubborn heart
I can relate 'cause that's how I feel when I talk with you

Why should it take losing everything
to realize it might be time to change?

[Chorus:]

Your restless heart won't win 'cause you take but you don't give
And you'll keep moving on until you learn what love is

Don't give up on love and throw it all away
Don't give up on love and let it fall away
Don't give up on love
