Single-Minded

#103: Simple-Minded Single

And my mind curled and whirled at the question he threw at me. A short answer will do no justice to the subject but that was all that the moment required. The words tumbled out of my lips slowly, then in a gush. Very much like my teeth in the dream I had last night wherein they all fell - one by one at first, then the rest all at once with one sweep of my tongue. Each tooth ravaged by an acidic past once thought to be sweet. Irreplaceable but not worth saving.

My perspectives on relationships are quite complex. Explaining them could be exasperating not just for the listener but sometimes, even for me. Especially so when I only have a couple of minutes to expound. I can gloss over my errors and skip the parts with missteps but they are critical in putting my convictions in context. And so I lay them all down and hope that as I spill, I drain all the confusion out. Choice chalky bits I spit and let go of in exchange for a shiny coin under my pillow the following morn.

I've learned and I continue to learn.
And as I continue to wait, I will continue to answer in the most complicated way simple questions like why I've kissed dating goodbye, why I refuse to be unequally-yoked with people who do not share my faith, and ultimately, why I want for myself nothing but God's best.
