We're so ******* used
to being torn apart
by those we've loved
and given our heart.
Now, it's coming too close
to what we've barely saved
These buildings of stone
can't keep us safe
from loving each other
and these "little earthquakes"
Still devoted,
Still trying...
Yet, so much effort
and still left crying.
We talk it out
find a place
that we agree
and still feel safe
But, then we sleep
and morning calls
feelings change and
we lose it all.
Back to heartache
back to pain
if we 'talk' again
will it end the same?
I want to be your rock
I wanna be strong
My heart'll try forever
...if it'll last that long.

Relationships are a lot of work for some. My queen and I were destined to be together as night and day. Forever touching, longing to be together, but the universe together against us. We found our eclipse and we're fighting to never let it go. This is about those hard times that bring up all of those doubts, insecurities and hopelessness. I had to be strong. I had to want it more than anything I've ever wanted before. And all of that hard work is starting to pay off with gentler times when we're not in agreement. We're learning. I'm learning to be a better man because she deserves nothing less.
[Little Earthquakes is an amazing song by Tori Amos dealing with similar issues.]
