muserevival -- 098.2: Those Three Words

[maria_guerin]

It's probably not the safest thing in the world for Liz and I to keep diaries right now, but we still do. We're careful about what things we write down and leave records of, of course, but I think it helps us both adapt to the changes we've made in our lives. The changes we have willingly made. The changes we don't regret for anything. Michael never says anything about the danger, but every time it looks like I'm getting to the end of the pages in my current diary, he always manages to find me a new one.

The notebooks are smaller than your average school required notebooks, but they're perfect for me because it's Michael who gets them for me. They're varying sizes depending on what he finds, but they always come from his heart because he knows that having one is important to me. It's Michael who hides the fulls ones for me where they can't be found so I'm not forced to automatically destroy them when they're full. Because one day, one day it will be safe to show them to my mom and answer all of her questions.

I know Michael also gets them for me because he keeps one that I write down my songs in when I get inspired. That one stays with him at all times and it's the sweetest thing someone has ever done for me.

The diaries and my song-writing notebook are just some of the reasons that I don't get hung up on hearing those three words from Michael all of the time. He shows me in a hundred thousand other ways that he loves me and that I'm important to him. With Michael, it really is more about showing me than telling me.

His actions are usually far more powerful than his words.
