Dancing to the edge
It has always been so easy to love you
At least the version in my head
I can't picture a day to day life with you
I picture what I have known in my life
The feeling of your lips on mine
The sound of your laugh mixed with mine
Your biting sarcasm, sassy dark humor
We can talk for hours about anything
Your darkness finds harmony with mine
Our light blinds when it's together
But I can't imagine doing dishes with you
I can't picture a shared space with you
I can't imagine those everyday things
Not with you, not with us, not in my head
We always burn out so fast when we reignite
We get so close, dancing to the edge and back
We've been almost for so long I can't picture it
At least the version in my head

We always burn out so fast when we reignite
We get so close, dancing to the edge and back
We've been almost for so long I can't picture it

Lmao when we were younger, sure, but ya know, you get older and distance and time... All that jazz.
If you purchase a dishwasher, do you think he would stay longer then? I mean...most men don't like helping with the washing up anyway!
Seriously though, the poem does have a very melancholic ring to it & comes across in the read that you are definitely not getting the full potential from this relationship. You are probably after something deeper & more meaningful because there's always a first for everything, right?
BTW, I have a pair of *Marigolds. ;-)

😂 oh, this comment is great! Honestly? I've accepted what we are and what we can give each other. I care about him deeply and that's unlikely to change. I think it's more about my acknowledgement of the fact we really would not be great together. Great friends, great lovers when it happens but not a love that lasts for life time at least not yet. You never know what could happen. I don't hold my breathe for love or any human. Call me a cynic, but love stinks.

A minefield literally of emotions
So many compatibilities we can create in our heads
But its those realities were many a connection falters
If two can truly believe, can just keep the connection together, then sure, all will be as wished for 🙏🧘♂️
Often we deny ourselves what appears to be right in front of us
Speculate rather than see with own eyes
Sorry rambling
Great write indeed

The details are great and the whole is very relatable. A relationship is like worlds colliding, gravity wells ignite, we destroy each other and become something new, or we drift apart and cold intergalactic absence flows between. I dig sciences. Nice write thanks for sharing it with us.

Like two magnets? So close and yet they push each other apart.
I like that you were sincere and in giving examples of the day to day things that you can't (or won't) do and yet something keeps reigniting.
Excellent piece.
