love written on sand

i used to think that love was best written in stone. solid. constant. unchanging. hard. steadfast. i thought that the best way to show true love was to never be affected by circumstances.. to always trust.. to forgive, accept and understand at all times, at all cost.

but now i know that love written on sand is just as true.. if not more so. for when the waves of trials come.. when trust is broken.. when forgiveness, acceptance and understanding are so difficult to give.. then the re-writing of love becomes more meaningful. more sincere. more aware. more pure.

our love was written on sand. and the waters of doubt and indecision threatened to wash it away. but not-so-faint heartprints still remain on the shore. and hopefully in time.. we'll write our love again.. on sand or in stone. in whatever medium we choose to write it in.. more clearly.. more deeply.
