You know how He said that you should be steadfast and true? Why is it then, that when you are, you are accused of being emotionless and that your speech is devoid of feeling?
Why is it that when you choose to be strong in light of what you truly want to achieve, They become inconstant and wavering?
You say my eyes can be empty, but you do not see that they reflect only yours and that they hold the world for you. That these eyes see straight through to you and that they hold nothing but love.
When I was young, I was nothing but emotion. Now that I am a man, I choose to commit and to act.
You may say that love is a feeling. I believe that love is a decision--that it is a choice.
Whatever happens from here on in. I will not waver from that which I have set my heart on nor will I ever forget my own reasons.
You asked me how I knew, I shrugged and said there are times when you just know and somewhere inside you irrevocably decide as you've recognized your other. You said it was the same for you.
Whatever challenges this day brings, I tell you, I remain steadfast and true. I show you, that I love you.
Coral: This was one of my favorite fairy tales when I was a small boy. In the introduction, the narrator enthuses:
"All the soldiers looked exactly alike except one. He looked a little different as he had been cast last of all. The tin was short, so he had only one leg. But there he stood, as steady on one leg as any of the other soldiers on their two. But just you see, he'll be the remarkable one."
Be steadfast and true when you find her. It will see you through.

A Curious Wednesday
The thing with revelations is that you already know of them.
What you have to figure out is not really what will happen next,
But how true the statements actually are.
There is no better way to attract live food if you are a carnivorous flower,
Then by being pretty.
