"love is watching someone die"
I was listening to "what Sarah said" by Deathcab for Cutie as I sit here waiting for the Fagr Athan...and the song went "love is watching someone die....so who's gonna watch you die" and it got me thinking, is that what all love is about? watching someone die?
But then, as you watch someone you've been in love with all your life, and watch the memories infront of your eyes; every touch, every kiss, every hug, every smile, every kid, every laugh. Remembering noticing their hair going greyer, the wrinkles on their face, the comfort you'd give them- telling them you love them more with ever line forming on the prettiest face you've ever seen. Every meal you eat together, every picture you've taken and every time you wrote about them in your journal. How could someone stand watching all that slipping away? Or is it that they're going to live in your heart that keeps you going?
I've watched my grandfather die- it's different with family but just as bad. Watching part of your life going into a grave...watching an idol to you go to the unknown place. I don't know what I would do without my parents, my grandmother and...all the family i love.
I want to die young, so I wouldn't live through losing any of them to death.
But no, I want a whole long life ahead of me to live with the only person I felt like he would be the perfect father to my children...and the perfect husband to me.
For once in my life, I'm sure about something, I know he's my perfect compliment, I know I want to be with him forever...I hope I'm not saying too much, but this is how I feel.
So, it's sort of a conflict I'm facing here...i want to live a long life...to make memories with a man, yet, I want to die young, so as not to suffer the pain of loss.
Reading that over, I think that's selfish of me- wanting others who love me to suffer instead of my suffering...
But think of it, what would you want?
