leaving the way we came

been thinking about life, and love, and relationships, and all the beautiful (and sometimes not-so-beautiful) messes that come along with all of it.

being privy to the beginnings (!!) and endings of some, i only wish that relationships could just end with the same amount of love and respect and admiration that they began with. it doesn't make any sense to me to have it any other way. i don't understand the anger and craziness that sometimes seems to manifest at the end of something so important.

when i stand still long enough to fall for anyone, those sweet, early moments are the most precious thing in the world..... and if i'm leaving the relationship behind, then at least i want to take the love i found along with me. 

i can't speak from a whole lot of experience, and i'm not saying that i haven't cried or been frustrated and angry about someone leaving my life.... and maybe i'm just a little crazy and optimistic right now......

but i want to try and live and love in a way that respects and acknowledges the fragility of this crazy adventure we're living. if the person i care about needed to go on their way, i trust and hope that i would have the grace to let them go easily.

i guess we'll see.
