Puzzle Pieces

I guess it's just so hard for me to understand how one person can think that they are so meant for you and yet you know for certain that you are meant for them. I mean I understand in the sense for the longest time I thought that I was meant for Jason, and yet I soon found out that I wasn't at all meant for him and really was meant for so much more. But we are both in agreement now that we are definitely not meant for each other. But with David it's different. He's still so convinced. He has such a strong feeling that this is supposed to be and that we are right together. Why? How? Why can't he see what I see? I guess it makes me question the whole idea of "meant to be" and "the one". I really want to believe in the idea that there are two parts broken apart and spend their life finding the piece that fits them. I love that idea. And maybe the difference is that some pieces are really really close to fitting and so you can be deceived in thinking that this piece is in fact the one that fits...when in reality it doesn't fit perfectly- it just fits because you are ignoring the little space between the part that doesn't exactly fit.

Just bend the pieces til it fits...like they were made for it...but they weren't meant for this...

I have a picture that I drew of a puzzle before David and I ever started David but it was about him. And it was a puzzle with a D piece missing showing that the K piece won't fit and it has the above lyrics on it. Ironically, Chris and I always use the metaphor of the puzzle piece for our relationship. Only we use it saying that "all the pieces keep falling into place". Which to me means that not just one piece fits, we don't just fit each other, but rather all the pieces fit- we fit each other and by fitting each other all the other pieces in our life fit us as a couple.

So why is David still trying to figure out the last puzzle? Why can't he see that all those pieces aren't part of the same puzzle- and they will never fit. I hope that one day he finds the perfect puzzle in which all the pieces perfectly fit.
