I won't give up

These lyrics are hitting close to home. We heard this song on the way home from the movie tonight, and I just want to share them. This is a song by Jason Mraz, and I know that this song probably wasn't meant to relate to people in this way, but I it touched me. I am not giving up on this journey, ever. Here are the lyrics. I hope you can find some peace in them. I also hope I can remember these lyrics when I am in a bad place.

"I Won't Give Up"

Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmm ...

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

I think a lot of times in this struggle it is easy to overlook the other people struggling with it as well. Alan has been so ridiculously strong throughout this whole process. I don't know how he does it.  His will to keep going gets me through the hard times. I am very lucky to have a partner who is so strong. I won't give up on us. Me, him, and our future children.
