Trust has never been born of knowing her completely, or even wanting to know her completely. It wasn't the outcome of any vows she took. At heart it remains a simple choice - do i think it is worth it? there is no such thing as 'i know i can trust her'. Only that 'i do trust her'.
A tangible dream embraced, My ally brooks no armour; I know not every nook of her mind, But love the angel heart in her. No surety divined, No promise secured, A blindfold to wear, A malady cured. Her myriad glances: I read what i must. I hope she reads the volumes of Trust.
Addendum -------- Since my last one proved so cryptic... 'tangible dream' and 'ally' refer to my better half. The 'armour' is any caution, pretence or fenced off area in my space.
The blindfold analogy isn't universally likeable, not meant to be. Just don't interpret it as being bat-blind to the whole issue of trust; only being blind to a need to get an assurance or guarantee.
Questionable perhaps, but i don't think there is such a thing as a perfect knowledge of another person.
In the end, it doesn't matter if the trust is well founded. my best bet is that she knows i trust her.
There is a double take on 'volumes'. A lot of fun imagery can be had with the two takes here.
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
