It's not easy. Being around each other all the time. Some days it feels forced, the proximity sucking the joy out. You start feeling resentful for not being happy with what you have. "It doesn't make me happy", you think. "So...why am I here?"
It's what scares me the most: that this resentment will root itself and I won't be able to connect as I used to. We usually disconnect and connect from time to time. But what if I stop?
~
When it happens, I don't sleep, I skip having food. Dark circles under my eyes tell me I've been missing my dreams too much, sleeping too little, letting my thoughts run unchecked.
~
What parameters should you really hold to see if a relationship is working or not? It can be a pros and cons list but in the end we work on feelings.
~
So, I decided. I resolved to let my feelings take the reign when logic doesn't work.
I decided if there's warmth; if there's still warmth in his touch, if he still makes me smile even when there's a storm brewing within me, it'll work out. I'll give it all.
And I'll hopefully know when to stop trying.

What does love look like?
Does it make your heart beat faster,
Make you breathless,
Or stop you in your tracks;
Like a deer caught in headlights?
Is that how love looks like?
~
Or is it something else...
Mustn't it make you want to see every sunset in their eyes,
Make you feel like the world's a little brighter when they're around,
Or slow down the hands of time.
~
Love must feel something like...
The salt in your food,
The warm taste of honey on your lips,
The sweet scent of flowers carried on a gentle breeze,
The peace of looking at a clear, starry sky.
~
Love must feel something like sitting on a cliff, watching the sun dip into the sea;
Walking through a jungle of fireflies in a dark night,
Or simply walking home in the rain,
Holding hands, with the night's songs in our heads.
~
Love must feel like Gravity;
Pulling you down, but pushing you up at the same time. ~
Love must be, sleeping in their arms, feeling the warmth spread through you.
~
It's hot tea on a rainy day,
Eating icecream on the bed,
Singing our favourite songs,
Or just simply whispering in their ear on a drunk late night ---
I love you.
❤️
