words

have you ever been in a situation where you know something is true with all your heart, but it never really hits home until its spoken aloud?

i think a lot of things in life are like that, and i wonder at the power words have to both comfort and disillusion.

in a good sense, i know that the first time i told mallory that i loved her, she experienced the confirming power of spoken word over all that she had grown to know and feel. in a sense, speaking those beautiful words made the reality more tangible to me as well.

tonight i experienced that same power of word in a different sense. tonight words confirmed something i had long known, but never accepted. I suppose that is a large part of love though...knowledge and acceptance that is...and love grows to encompass both. have you ever been in a situation where you know something is true with all your heart, but it never really hits home until its spoken aloud?
