I was walking to church today for prayer meeting, and I saw a couple fighting. At least I think that's what they were doing. The guy was shouting at the girl and she was waving her hands, shouting back. It got me standing there just thinking for awhile. Walking on, I then saw the girl hanging around in the corner, asking people for spare change. The guy came a few minutes later and few words were exchanged, before he too joined her in asking people for money, and for those few moments where they were asking for money, if you saw them just like that for the first time, you wouldn't be able to tell that just a few minutes ago they were fighting.
I wondered. Wondered if they could see 10, 20 years down the road, if they would still choose to be together. If knowing the outcome, would they have made their choices differently. Would she have said yes when she could have said no? Would he have tried, when he could have spent the rest of his life going 'if only'. I know I wouldn't change anything. I know I may not fully understand, and I may act childish some times, and suffer the heartache, but I'd rather die trying than live wondering.
