Some believe that the best relationship is one of 2 people sharing their lives with each other, but that's not enough to keep them from growing apart. A long lasting relationship is one in which it's not two people sharing their lives with each other, but 2 people who want to have one life together. They're both going in the same direction because they make decisions as one and have vowed to each other, the world and God that nothing is more important than making the bond of love they chose to make become eternal. I vow to make sure I don't waste time living adjacent to each other in a relationship that has love, it's all or nothing.
I kind of wrote out my feelings about this kind of relationship in a quasi-poem format. I don't have a title for it yet, and there could be a lot of revisions before it's perfect, but that's the way we English majors work.
(No Title )
Living adjacent in our own separate worlds
never understanding what the other is feeling.
Imperfect people create imperfect pictures,
trying to muddle through.
Puddles of fear born
from mere friends or acquaintances
and never forming a bond
of honest companionship that
living a love can create.
