Food

You eat at my table and you pray to the same thankless God that I do; but that is where the similarities end. You want a rock on your finger and the whole world telling you how sacred your love is; I have the experience to know that when the penny drops and you see the truth; it is harder to tell those people that your expensive facade was all to prove to yourself that love will conquer all. 

Sadly that is not reality. Love is weak. Love is something people say all of the time; and the meaning has slowly faded away with time.  And I know that you think marriage is going to prove to me that love is real. But how much of those words do you really mean. Once you turn around and read those vows it is final. The only way to get out is by a divorce. 

So before you commit; ask yourself who are you doing this for. Are you doing this to appease his mother or to appease societies norms that say if you love someone you have to marry them; or are you doing it because you really love him. 

If it is the latter i will support you; sit in the beating sun, and wipe the tears away from my eyes. But if it is the former , you have to ask who are you really marrying; him or his mother.
