When I Exchange My Heart for Yours

"I'm so terrified of getting married," my friend said to me today. "I have this fear that I'm going to wake up one morning and see my husband and realize that I'm not actually in love with him and not know what the hell I was thinking."

Then we hear these words floating from the radio. /And I'll surrender up my heart/And swap it for yours/. *

And this is what I think it might be talking about, this whole idea of marriage and falling in love, and then staying there. Working for it, and protecting it, and reveling in that heart exchange.

I don't know about love, or romance, or marriage first hand, but I think it might be a lovely thing. An adventure, certainly, it will be. And someday, maybe, I will have a heart with which to exchange this one I temporarily call my own.

Oh, Darling,
Let us be adventurers,
You and I. **
