It wasn't til I uttered the words aloud
That I understood the gravity of what had happened

The whole basis of what he believed in relationships
Demolished in just a conversation

A terrifying realization that could confuse anyone

Leaving him questioning the basis of our relationship
If it was built on unstable ideas and practices

But when I stopped worrying and started thinking

I realized that our relationship was never built
On what his parents had taught him of relationships

We were built on the fact that our goals aligned
That we loved the same things
That he brought out the best in me every day
And that every time I see him I feel happier

Opening the door and treating me with respect
Was not the basis of our relationship

An important piece but not the reason we are together
We did not build a relationship on kindness

We built our relationship on the
Late night conversations of love and loss

We realized we could spend the rest of our lives together
Because we wanted the same things for our life

He did not charm me into love
**We simply fell in love
