Thought Provoking

Today a man (who I could tell was married by the ring on his ring finger) comes into the store, and as I rang up his cigarettes..

He asks "Are you married?"
With out skipping a beat I answer "Yes"
Then he asked "Happily?"
I laughed and said "Happily? Well, it all is left up to interpertation,
but happy enough."

Pretty simple questions, and answers..
But after he left I started thinking..

Am I happy..
What is happy..
Is anyone truly happy...

Then I giggled and thought, I wonder about his wife..
Does she ask, or questions her marriage?
Wouldn't it be ironic if she is doing the same thing to him..
What would he think..

All too often people assume they are the only one unhappy in a marriage..
That the spouse is sitting back being good..
What is the possibility at that exact moment, a man was asking his wife
the same questions..
And how was she answering them..

I know I am not happy every minute of the day..
Nor am I living a magical marriage..
No one is happy every minute of the day..
It is up to us to find the positives in our relationships..

People that don't look to find the good..
Don't every seem to be happy,

There is your "Happly Ever After"

What did I do?

I have tried to fix every mistake you believe I have made..

I would go back in time to stop what pain I have caused..
Some times I think it is useless..
No matter what I do it is not enough for you..

I am at a loss..
I no longer know what direction to take..
All I wanted to do was fix you and I..

I am not perfect, and you say to me..
"I am not looking for perfect"..
Then what else can I do..

When I beg you to tell me what I should do..
I get no responce..
Now I am left with no path to take..

I am no longer mad at what I have tried to do not working..
I am no longer sad for what I try to acheive not making a difference..
I can't try any more..

The pain I feel came the moment I realized nothing is possible..
That is the moment I threw in the towel..
The moment I finally stepped back and said..

"I'm done"
