you can't always get what you want..........
you can't always get what you want.......... my niece is being married tomorrow. she has wanted this for a long time and now it is only 25 hours away. when i got married i was about 4 months pregnant and the day before i kept thinking....don't do this, don't do this. but i did. my was born. i was ecstatic. about a week later, i found my husband sitting on our bed, his head in his hands. i asked what was wrong and he looked up at me, totally bereft and said, "i can't believe that this is my life." my brother will be there tomorrow. we share the mantle of the black sheep for our family and i adore him. he has been married 7 times. no typo - i did mean 7 times. except for one of those times, he knew it wasn't going to work. my sister married her high school sweetheart and they are still married 36 years later. she doesn't much like him anymore. i never did. my other brother married for friendship and a certain security he needed. he is divorced and one of the angriest men i know. my parents were together for nearly 50 years before my dad passed over. he loved my mother wholeheartedly, unabashedly. she abided. the rain is cold and my lover is far away. he won't be there with me tomorrow. i will stand with my family and watch my niece get married. there are times in our lives when we do things for all the wrong reasons. when we think that even though this isn't what you really want, that maybe, somehow it will be okay. i hope it is. You cannot conceive the many without the one. |
