It’s you i like,
It’s not the things you wear.
It’s not the way you do your hair,
But it’s you i like.
The way you are right now
The way down deep inside you
Not the things that hide you
Not your diplomas…
They’re just beside you.
But it’s you i like,
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings,
Whether old or new.
I hope that you’ll remember
Even when you’re feeling blue,
That it’s you i like,
It’s you yourself, it’s you
It’s you i like!

Alfalfa. And so it is with the restraints on divorce.

I didn’t marry you because you were perfect. I didn’t even
Marry you because i loved you. I married you because you
Gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults.
And the promise i gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect
People got married and it was the promise that made the marriage.
And when our children were growing up, it wasn’t a house that
Protected them; and it wasn’t our love that protected them – it was that
Promise.
Thornton wilder,
