Lives joined by love emit a joyous song. This peal of joy, in the beginning sung in close harmony, rises and falls with the rhythm of time. The melody can rush ahead, then drop back while the harmony sings alone.
When one of the players in the duet strikes a wrong note the other plays on, keeping the music flowing until both once more have found the place and continue together, again in harmony.
When the song grows old, as one day it must, if it has been played truly, it fades away, gently, naturally, to a soft hum, then, in the normal course of things, a whisper sung by one. But even when it seems to fall silent, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint but lovely echo of the love song that was their life.
So excuse the discordant notes, forgive the frailty of the song carried alone and continue on until your partner finds the place and the full melody can swell forth again in all its loveliness
.
You are the music of each other’s life – live it, love it, cherish it – and each other. A beautiful song is a rare and lovely thing.
