It was September when i proposed to my girlfriend of 5 1/2 years, all winter we were excited, "over rooftops". Spring turned to summer as "we just hurried"... life began to get very stressful for her planning a wedding and dealing with other serious personal issues in her life. I would go over to her house and tell her to "just be patient and dont worry" things will work themselves out. Feeling overwhelmed I didnt know how to help the situation.
The tempo changed in our lives as we both started to lash out at one another more frequently blaming eachother for rediculous things, which literally brought us into a "cycle of recycled revenge". Both coming from broken families we always felt that we would only get married once in our lives... and thus the metaphor for divorce that we didnt want to follow... "death and all his frineds" (this line has many other meanings to me as well). My fiance and true love left the situation and her lifes stresses, and ran away to a city an hour away.
Fast-forward one month to present time. Our families and us are still trying to make sence of it, picking up the pieces. I have for the first time in 26 years felt true pain and sadness. We both still love eachother so much and talk when we feel we are strong enough to do so.
Tempo change "and in the end We lie awake, and we dream of making our escape"... I know that no matter what our future holds i will always lie awake and dream of our escape together ..... im know she is doing the same.
I miss her ... this song is amazing ... thanks Chris.
dj whut ivc, my heart goes out to you. having been in my 20's once (i'm 54) i had my own (sometimes suicidal) share of pain and heartache.

got married at age 32, we've been hanging in there for 22 years, but it wasn't always easy. there were many, many moments when we could have split for good.

i started meditating a couple years ago. the peace that floods me now almost overwhelms me. because i am more at peace, our marriage is more at peace (i was always the more unhappy one; my husband, i think, was very perplexed at times over me)
i have found that true living means accepting what is. so my husband is quiet and doesn't like to talk; that can be a real deal breaker, but i have come to the place where i love him and accept him fully; his silence notwithstanding. i am more at peace. and so is he.
conflict in relationships stems, i believe, from different expectations. no two people can ever have exactly the same expectations thus producing a perfect relationship which does not exist.
i have found that over time you get used to each other, you come to accept each other as you are and a deep and peaceful love emerges...as long as you are willing to accept the other person with all their flaws and not try to change them, or get heart broken over how they don't meet your needs. even the important ones.
i have found that peace and happiness come only from within. no one can make you happy. no one can make you unhappy. only you can make yourself happy. only you can make yourself miserable. it is your thoughts that make you happy, and your thoughts that make you miserable.
the most helpful books i have found are by eckhardt tolle (A New Earth, the Power of Now), dr. wayne dyer (Change your thoughts, change your life), and many others, including Autobiography of a Yogi (paramahansa yogananda), Remembering Wholeness (carol tuttle).
i wish you love, peace, joy and happiness. it is possible with or without your true love;
i think if you both started meditating and found peace within yourselves, you could make it work. truly.
