Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love by New Grass Revival:

People think I'm crazy to keep on lovin' you
After all the changes you put me through
But they don't understand the nature of my love
You can turn your back on me but I will never give you up

It's an unconditional love I have for you
And it just gets stronger no matter what you do
Undeniable feelin', forever true, oh, unconditional love

I don't care how long it takes to get to you
Some day I know I'll see my dream come true
Until I have you I've got nothing but time
I'm gonna keep on tryin' 'til I make you mine

It's an unconditional love I have for you
And it just gets stronger no matter what you do
Undeniable feelin', forever true, oh, unconditional love

This is the only way to love
It comes to you when you give enough
This is the only way to love
It comes to you when you give enough

This is the only way to love
It comes to you when you give enough
This is the only way to love
It comes to you when you give enough

An unconditional love I have for you
And it just gets stronger no matter what you do
Undeniable feelin', forever true, oh, yeah

It's an unconditional love I have for you
And it just gets stronger no matter what you do
An undeniable feelin', forever true, oh, unconditional love

I had an odd thought recently... It was when I received a text from my parents... "Remember we love you unconditionally" I have always known this of course, but lately I feel like unconditional love is the extinct cousin to the newly evolved, just plain ol' love. One of my hypotheses is that this change developed due to the amount of divorces in this country. Not to say divorce is not taken seriously, or helpful in hurtful, abusive and degrading marriages. But some people get into a marriage and when they find out the tough parts or hit a rough patch they want out. My parents have been married for 28 years and have gone through more than their fair share of arguments and fights. They have talked about divorce but decided that the love they still share is stronger than the petty fights they have occasionally. But today's society doesn't put the same importance on keeping a marriage together. Because of this I feel that unconditional love is becoming a forgotten facet of peoples lives. I do think unconditional love needs to be earned but the chance to get to that point also needs to be given.

On a side note I have a very dear friend, who has recently asked me to give them space, and I just want to say that she has earned my unconditional love as a friend and that this talk of marriage has nothing to do with what she went through.

Lisa you are seriously awesome and I don't think you hear it enough. Even though we have not been through the greatest of times recently I still appreciate the little moments you take out of your busy day to say hi or even stop to think of me. Thank you for everything and if time turns into months, into years I wish you the absolute best in everything you do.
