Soul Ties

The Last Step

These are the last words I said to my wife before
asking her on our first date, "if you allow, I'll
take you to a place far away from yourself,
a place so good you'll want to become someone
else."

She agreed, so I changed her last name.

What a shame, ever since then,
I've been wishing,
she said no...

Dang man. I hope that isnt true. If so, ya'll got some talkin to do. It is so painful to love someone you are no longer in love with. Just in case this is real, I will send some love and prayer your way brotha.

i know all too well the power of a soul tie B. as we've discussed many times, loving someone and being in love with someone are two very different things. all i ever want is for the people that i love to be happy and if this means me being the unhappy one, so be it.

Wow, that is sad. Sometimes you can renew your relationships with others. A vow and a commitment are heavy things. Perhaps you are looking to that marriage to fullfill something that it cannot, which means you look inward to see what you can do differently.

Don't be a dog, please please please!!!
