To meet the thorn
To touch the rose unfearful
Is to meet the thorn
And pierce the heart's emotion
And feel the emptiness no more
Love can be hard.
Ben and I have not fought in the course of our engagement, but we've been hurting each other more often. It's never intentional; I think it's inevitable that two individuals who draw so close to each other eventually make contact with the other's rough edges.
I think it's that very thing that makes relationships so beautiful. Iron sharpens iron -- what better way to become more holy than to coexist with one other person in the most intimate way possible? Ben and I will become more loving, sacrificial people because of the hurt we experience. After explanations have been sought and apologies made, I love Ben more than before.
At the end of the day, I would rather have Ben go to a musical with me because he loves me, not necessarily because he loves musicals.
