"Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone. 
We find it with another." 
~ Thomas Merton ~
The thing is .........
in the various stages of my life I've found most relationships end because 
we don't realize what we had till it's to damned late to fix anything . 
some relationships end in one big explosion .... 
the majority though die a slow death like a cancer .
It's not the big things that take love down .
It's the thousand little thing's that build up till the house of cards can no longer bare the weight .
the first time you leave the house without a kiss or a I love you ? 
such a simple little thing 
but that's the first hit with the hammer upon the foundation ..... 
the first sip of poison in the fairytale . 
yeah you remember that fairytale 
beginning where you felt like you just saved the damsel from the dragon 
or your knight in shining armor just arrived 
Cinderella and Snow White stories are just that ...... 
stories
stories of living happily ever after in a state of bliss 
has killed more relationships than the plague killed people 
love Is a Fickle Bitch ! 
it requires both parties to work at making it work. 
just as soon as one or the other starts taking things for granted 
things will slowly start heading south 
and gain speed each time someone's feelings get hurt .
love alone will get you through anything ...... 
Now there's the Ultimate Fairytale of all Fairy Tales ! 
relationships should be about selflessness, making each other happy, being best friends, partners, lovers, helpers.
in this world today 
"it''s all about me" 
but it's so terribly wrong
to be alone is one thing 
to be lonely is quite a different thing
I remember something in the bible saying 
God made woman for man because He said it wasn't good for man to be alone.......
I've spent the last few years feeling nothing more than loneliness
even in a crowd 
I could blame it on a lot of things 
being hardheaded would be one
