Only Yes

It has taken almost 4 years for Yes to come before No.

One of the highest forms of love - is the ability to say yes, to anything, simply because you could. For women, it has something to do with the openness or the loyalty to follow through with any desire big or small. For men, it could be the same - but I can't vouch for that.

It has been my desire to be given the openness of yes from my loved one. Something that I've never gotten before today. The answer has always been no first, and then, after reflection - has been changed. For me, it's the initial response that has been the most important. For example - I had said I wanted chocolate and that I wanted my loved one to go get it. I knew the answer would be no, because it always has been. I expected to hear "I'm not going to the store right this second to get you chocolate. You can eat the chocolate ice cream that's here in the house."

He said he would. For me, he would. If that's what I truly wanted. Which changed the course of our entire conversation. I was completely content to eat ice cream, not even the chocolate kind, because the Yes was enough - soul quenchingly enough. And in true waxing romantic form - this was worth the wait.

Even the realist, who suspected an ulterior motive, had no real voice here. Love had won.
