Love Her Madly

           As I worked out this morning I listened to music on my Ipod as I often do. One of my all time favorites, The Doors, was the choice of the day. I have been inspired by the lyrics of Jim Morrison many times and today is one of those times. As the play list rolled along I paid little attention to the music, songs that I have heard a million times provided a backdrop for my exercise, then there it was “Love Her Madly”. As the lyrics  filtered through my headphones and into my brain ”don’t you love her madly?” the first line from the song hit me and all of a sudden my thoughts turned from the task at hand to thoughts of the woman I love.
          "I do love her madly" I answered to myself and the long time dead poet who wrote those words. It’s different this time. This time the love is real and not imagined. This time it’s forever. This time I can’t stand to be apart from her. This time I have someone to stand beside me through the good times and the bad. This time it’s all different. This time I do “Love Her Madly”
