The together is not what hurts
It is the alone and the apart
This relationship is so painful
But to me it is beautiful; art
Your breath the wind in my sails
They are flimsy; I'm easily moved
Happily impressed and proud
Of the few things you improved
I expect too much it seems
I watch you attempt to be what I need
I wish I was satisfied
But I feel like we cannot succed

This was written 12-13-13 the day after my ex's birthday right after we first got together. I guess things really didn't change that much over the course of our relationship after all, just the way I reacted to them. You can love someone with all you have but it won't make a relationship work, it takes more than just love, it takes effort.
