A LONG WAY TO GO...with trust and hope

Eavesdropping is bad, I know but you cannot know the juicy things I've heard doing it; it started out innocently (being a loner) I'd sit away from people and just watch, its pretty funny and entertaining what people say and do when unaware of an audience 

This time it was a couple having a deep and meaningful conversation, innocently I didn't mean to listen in, as I was at a bar waiting for my order they sat across me like I didn't exist and shortly into their conversation forgot I was even there 

This is what I heard;

You should always consider the things you say before you say em (the lady said angrily)

So should you (the guy said quite calmly) U never know what response u might get

Its easy to point accusing fingers, So long as it doesn't point back

(Pensively, he continued as if he never noticed her anger) 

Imagine if our body parts could testify against us?

My interest in their conversation increased, yet not to seem nosy for I suspected that I'd be caught eavesdropping and kill the conversation, gently I stood up to change my seat to a much more inconspicuous position, not minding that my order was forgotten by the waitress there was more juice in the conversation I thought. 

…And as if she took a cue from his calm demeanor she responded in similar tone;

Sometimes, we get angry, emotional, as we are human. And we can say things we don't mean. We can be remorseful but there's no justification, so we (I) shouldn't attempt to justify them. There's no excuse for saying vile things.

He continued where he left off as if she said nothing, I thought he must be passing something across;

Against our logic, against our choices actions and inactions

What if our hearts content could be displayed on our foreheads I wonder...

Many hearts would be broken

Most definitely, But there'd be relief

Only you would say that..

Relief in knowing that you're not sleeping with the devil

Ah.. I see

Not knowing alone...wondering can truly be nerve wrecking, What's true, what's not, one can only hope...that he/she is in safe hands.

I heard of a Chief justice who found out after all his kids were grown that none of em were really his, none from his loins

Just hearing the story alone made me cringe

Me too

The heartbreak he'd experience, beyond emotions can translate into physical pain

Don't you think?

Yes

How much more he the central character of such terrible tale

A thought crossed my mind one day

Pray tell

That what if deep down, you'd be happy if we broke up. You'd be free of any ties to me and the people we know. You'd be free of all the things you complained about.

I wondered if you hadn't found someone where you are now. After all, I am not there with you. What if I am only getting in your way, after all, a lot has happened since you vowed to be mine.

But I trust you. And I trust in your love for me. And that was enough. I let the thought flow away. I can only hope that, now or in 10 years, even when my face gets lines.. That I'd be enough for you

Hmmm

Trust and hope...on both our parts

Is that what love is or why they say love is not enough for a relationship?

Maybe

The maybe is for what now, What love is or why love isn't enough?

Why they say..

Ah.. I see

Trust..

Hope..

Trust should be present continuous and never past

Hope...a future tense never present

What then does one leave in the past?

Wait a minute...this was a quarrel when I started listening, how did this turn to some intensely deep shii

Wrongdoings

Who's to decide what those are? We leave people in the past, For those present.

I don't know for sure that even you will never leave me. I only know myself, I know my heart. I trust and hope.

You and I have a long way to go.

Same here.

Will it be enough for the journey though....trust and hope?

What else is there?

Nothing I guess!

My order finally came, cold and refreshing blocking my beautiful view and distracting my attention, but I already had a lot to drift off with into thought as I sipped on my drink.
