A belabored love song.

Are we falling out of love?

Remember in the beginning: it was so lovely; every moment was a gift, a lesson, a pleasure. That’s what it was, you and me, pleasuring each other constantly.

And then we normalized, you and I, our relationship matured and we felt strong in our
solid state.

Something happened, though; maybe I forgot about you, maybe you neglected me, maybe we started slipping from each other’s short-term memory.

Are we falling out of love? Is this

ambivelence-

or pain-

or shrug-

a tearing of seams?

Maybe we were better together when you were my cause, when I was your future, when you were my dream.

Or this could just be what commitment is made of…
