A relationship changing equations
like shifting sand dunes, slow….subtle..
Starting with dreams….passion..
becoming a compromise
when children come along..
the bonds become ties, ties become
chains,
tying two people…into a life sentence…
The focus shifts, as children become
the lifeline to hold on to..
until they go their different ways…
duties and obligations take over
love, understanding and compatibility…
what we want to do, gets suppressed
by what we ought to do…
We continue living, leading parallel
lives
trying to fill the emptiness in our
spaces
with friends, work and various
interests…
freedom becomes loneliness…
independence becomes indifference…
spaces become distances..
too great to be bridged…
So it goes on….a charade..
spontaneity lost in silence…
taking each other for granted
staying together for appearances…
and for others..a farce with
forced caring, reluctant sharing…
not reason enough to break free…
Yet needing each other
on some basic, subconscious plane
having no more desires…no more
expectations..just used to each other
comfortable in our differences
content to be with someone who
knows us at our best….and our worst…
