The Get Away

You're the reason that I'm alive. You're what I can't live without. You're quick to forgive when I make a mistake, and I still can't believe you are next to me after all I've done.

These words speak volumes as Plumb sings, "I don't deserve your love. Even when I walk away, take off running, you come right after me. It's what you do, and I don't deserve you."

If we are not careful, we will slip through life without ever experiencing real love. Real love is rooted in self-denial, self-sacrifice. Peel away the layers of so much of what is passed off for love today, and all you have left is self-gratification and manipulation.

Instead of asking, "What will I get out of the relationship?," real love asks "What do you need from me to be yourself?"

The word "commitment" is usually defined as being dedicated to a cause. When love is real, each person in the relationship is surrendered to the other's best interest.

Don't let life pass without ever being able to sing, "You give me more than I could dream, and you bring me to my knees."
