Our Story

I am cheating... but if you're interested in the story of Elanor and I (told in her perspective)...

http://www.xanga.com/pantalaimon116

I'll have to write my own perspective down at some point, but, as usual, life is crazy... every day seems like a week of happenings!

In the meanwhile, enjoy the writings of my lovely to-be-fiancee .

Cath... by Death Cab for Cutie

Music Video

Cath...
She stands with a well intentioned man
But she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child

Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do

Cath...
It seems that you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more

Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
And if our hearts were dying that fast, they would have done the same as you
I'd have done the same as you

Wrong Love?

Love is not holding anything back.
Love is sacrificing what you hold dear.
Love is fearless.
Love does not insist on being right.

People think we're dreaming.
"It's just puppy love."
"It's too soon, too fast."
"That's crazy."

Are we?

If this love is a dream, then I will keep on dreaming.
If this love is a mountain top, then I will remain here forever.
If this love is insane, then put me in an institution.

Love is patient.
Love does not boast.
Love is as strong as death.

What if the real love, the one above the sun, is all this and more.

Yes, it's fast.
Yes, it's crazy.
But is it wrong?

...can true love be wrong?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Most people will read this and think that I'm being a hopelessly romantic fool . Well, maybe I am, but ironically, I'm not writing only about romantic love... I'm writing about love in general.

I realized today that sometimes "loves" come into conflict and we're forced, not to choose between one over the other, but to completely die to ourselves for the sake of others.

By God's grace, power, and love, I've done more real loving in the past month than probably in my entire life. I'm realizing that I not only have to do it with those I want to love, but I have to do it with everyone, even when it means giving up what's so close to my heart. But I am called to love, without limit, without hindrance, without hesitation, and without discrimination.

Love with Elanor is easy. Submitting "us" to others is hard.
