Chris Gaither

There Is Desire and There Is the Object of Desire and Never the Twain Shall Meet, but I’m Sure Glad I Met You

A Love Letter

Before I met you
the happiest I’d ever been
was when everything I’d ever wanted
was on lay-away
because I didn’t have to make any more decisions
 
But when you decided on me
and when I
being blessed with an ego
saw the wisdom of your decision
I learned that in all happy marriages
we feel desired
but not possessed
because
between wanting and having is being
 
In other words
God always decides on us
