Love > the space between

I've recently rekindled my love for the song "The Space Between" by Dave Matthews Band. It's such an emotional song about compromise. Which is true on so many levels. Being in a relationship is all about compromise. Because both parties will never be on the same ground in each and every issue of their lives. Between the truths are little lies that hope to protect us from pain. Between the fights and tears are the laughter that binds the relationship and keeps em coming back. The small gaps are filled in, which forms and strengthens the bond between them. And of course, that which fills the gap is love. Cheesy right, but very logical. What else can make you endure the pain, sadness and tears, and still come back knowing that there's more where that came from. L-O-V-E. What else can make bend or even break your principles and surrender abandoning all sense of pride and self worth. It's got to be love.

The song ends with the line "The space between your heart and mine, is the space we'll fill with time." Let's just hope that there's still enough love left to fill the space between.
