Love is patient, Love is kind
(This is a private post. Please comment at la-journals.)
Love is patient, Love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
Always hopes, always perserveres.
I almost told Dave what happened last Hallowe'en. That it was because Danny and Bobby cheated on me with each other, and if it hadn't been for that I wouldn't have been there, I wouldn't have been drunk, and Dave and I never would have been more than acquaintances.
I knew I loved Bobby and Danny when I heard about the accident. When I was so scared something had happened to them and I didn't know what I would do without them. Every single time we have a scare with Danny and I wonder if we're going to lose him. The night we put rings on each others' fingers and said again how much we love each other. I know God doesn't approve of what the three of us have, but maybe how much we love each other, maybe how happy we make each other will make it okay. I know it doesn't. I know we're... but we put rings on each other's fingers. We promised each other.
With this ring, I thee wed.
I promise to love, honor and cherish all the days of our lives...
I, Mark Thomas Allison, take you, Bobby McGee and Danny Jameson,
to be my husbands,
secure in the knowledge that you will be my constant friends,
my faithful partners in life,
and my two true loves.
On this day,
I pledge to stay by your sides as your husband,
in sickness and in health,
in joy and in sorrow,
as well as through the good times and the bad.
I further promise to love you without reservation,
comfort you in times of distress,
encourage you to achieve all of your goals,
laugh with you and cry with you,
grow with you in mind and spirit,
always be open and honest with you,
and cherish you both for as long as we all shall live.
The way we started may not have been the best, but we're together now and that's all that matters. Yes, it brought back some of the less good memories when Dave wanted to know what happened last Hallowe'en. He knew I'd been upset, but he didn't know the reason behind it. I almost considered telling him. Putting everything out in the open. But I don't think it's my place. There's no reason to make him think less of Danny and Bobby.
They had a moment of weakness. I've had a lot of those. It doesn't hurt to think about it as much now, though. I think I've... I don't know. But I can forgive them for what happened. I think I did a long time ago.
But it's between me and Bobby and Danny. Dave doesn't need to know. All he needs to know is that I'm devoted to Danny and Bobby and whatever happened before, all is well now.
I will be in love with my husbands for as long as I live. They could do nothing to stop me from loving them.
