Another Line

I awoke at 4am this morning. I had dreamt about the movie I saw, "Evening". When I awoke, another line from the movie came to me. Ann, on her death bed, said, "I always thought there'd be more". She was referring to her great love for Harris. She had 2 failed marriages and never found anyone else she loved as much as she had loved Harris. That line had the most meaning for me because I had the same thought not to long ago about my own love life. I had always thought there'd be more; At least one more. I read once that marriage is a decision you make. I wonder how many people who marry are not totally in love with their choice of partner? But because they were not able to marry someone they truly loved, had settled for someone else. I suspect that that happens more often than not. If your goal is to be married and have a family, you get married and have a family. If your goal is to find someone else who is the love of your life, you wait until you find that someone. You may be disappointed if they never come along.
