Would you go for love? For true love. Unthinkable. Passionate. Consuming. Eternal love. Born and bound by God. Between yourself, the most powerful woman you know, and who you know will be the most powerful man of his time. A love that reaches the depths, heights, and walls of your soul. A love that defies the notion of time. What would you do if you tasted it, breathed it, allowed it to define you, and had to live solely by the once made promise that it would return? If that love left you locked away in a tower of solitude for years? Would you stay? Or would you retreat to the comfort of the familiar - to the arms of others, to the consolation of friendship? If you made a commitment to stand firm in the truth of eternal love's promise, could you keep it? If nobody understood? If the world, bar no actors within it, thought you a fool, could you walk blindly through the fire? If the promise itself doubted your ability to endure, could you - the naked, real, entirety of yourself - bear the chastening of insult, the knife of doubt, and the lashings of emotion? How long can I stand? How long can I move forward in this canyon, blindly walking on faith that I will eventually reach the other side? Can I continue to trust the memory of what he once was? Can I trust in prophetic love? Perhaps the only thing I can trust is God: "endure, and it will not be denied you." Endure. Endure. Endure to the end.
