Together. As we do with all things.
Feb. 24th, 2017 06:05 amThere are a few resonant phrases in this relationship. Some are endearments and other such private things.
There are two that occupy adjacent spaces.
"As long as we both want it."
That's our time commitment. If both of us no longer want the relationship, it's time to work on dismantling it with the same consideration and love we put into constructing it. If so many as one of us no longer wants it, it's time to end it.
And as long as we both do want it, that means putting in the work. Being present. Taking care. Tackling the problems that pop up.
And there will be problems. But we don't have to face them alone anymore.
"Together. As we do with all things."
Even when we still have to do a specific part alone, the principle stays with us. The hard things are a little less hard with someone holding your hand.
