I'm done

I used to think that love was enough..  Not the kind that you find in a Hallmark card in the grocery store, but the kind that comes from believing that, one day the person that God himself has matched you with, will find you and let you continue down the path together..  This is "Valentine's Day"  This is the day unto which we are supposed to be with our partner in life..  Today, this morning, rather..  I was, in Spirit, with someone who had made the scars on my well-scarred heart go away..  Our ages were just numbers..  She was Greek.. I'm a mutt..  We were both Orthodox, and believed in many of the same things..  My steps were light.. My head was high, and my heart was happy..  Then I get an email..  It was from her..  Telling me her father FORBIDS her to see me..  First the grief..  Then the tears..  The pain..  Remorse..  Yeah..  All of it..  But now, there is just a feeling of wanting justice..  But, I'm not going to do that.. I'm a better man than that now..  I'll pray for them, for the softening of their hearts..  and for the healing of my broken one..

Now where is that damn horse??
