Chapter Forty
We’re Engaged
“Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death.”
Bible, Song Of Solomon 8:6
The Story In Your Eyes
By The Moody Blues
I’ve been thinking about our fortune
And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame
For the love that’s deep inside us now
Is still the same
And the sounds we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It’s been shining down upon me now
I realize
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We’re part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
But I’m frightened for your children
That the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we’ve been waiting for
Will turn to rain
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We’re part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
But I’m frightened for the children
That the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we’ve been waiting for
Will turn to rain
When the final line is over
It’s certain that the curtains gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
For ever more
My partner called this morning(06-14-’08) and said, “Christopher,” and I said, “James.” He said, “Eckhardt,” and I said, “Dean.” He said, “Remember this, it’s Saturday, June 14th, 2008. Will you marry me?” I replied, “Yes, I’d love to marry you!…”
I’d never had any one ask me that before. And the state of Florida recorded it all, as they tape all of our calls.
From the guy who caught my eye walking the track at Liberty CI, in 2004, who at first refused my love, and then returned my love, to now asking for my permanent love. Ain’t life grand!
Love Me Tender
(words and music by Vera Matson-Elvis Presley)
Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete
and I love you so.
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you
and I always will.
Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
and we’ll never part.
Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.
(When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).
“It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks of it, but few have seen it.”
La Rochefoucauld, Maxims
