If you behave in a manner that poisons your relationship, don__ be surprised when it dies.
This time, something different happens, though. It__ the daydreaming that does it. I__ doing the usualthing__magining in tiny detail the entire course of the relationship, from first kiss, to bed, to moving intogether, to getting married (in the past I have even organized the track listing of the party tapes), to howpretty she__l look when she__ pregnant, to names of children__ntil suddenly I realize that there__nothing left to actually, like, happen. I__e done it all, lived through the whole relationship in my head.I__e watched the film on fast-forward; I know the whole plot, the ending, all the good bit. Now I__e gotto rewind and watch it all over again in real time, and where__ the fun in that?And fucking _ when__ it all going to fucking stop? I__ going to jump from rock to rock for the rest ofmy life until there aren__ any rocks left? I__ going to run each time I get itchy feet? Because I get themabout once a quarter, along with the utilities bills. More than that, even, during British Summer Time.I__e been thinking with my guts since I was fourteen years old, and frankly speaking, between you andme, I have come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains.

You know what I love? The spaces between I love you. The tap of your fork against the plate and how my cup of wine clicks against our table. The scratchy voice coming from the radio in the other room. The quiet sound of your hand reaching across the table and whispering over mine. How your voice sounds like your mouth on the back of my neck. The soft murmur of our easy conversation.Between these quiet Tuesday night routines, following every comma and right after every pause for breath, is I, love, and you. In the middle of every I love you is a sink full of dishes, whisper of socked feet tangled in white sheets, and gentle kisses against curved cheeks. We lyric ourselves into the laundry that needs to be finished, into the ends of every smile that follows me repeating your name. We write ourselves into the grocery bags we need to carry, the cracks running up our rented walls, the sides of the bed we choose to drag up the sails of heavy eyed dreams.Like the spaces between our fingers, in the spaces between I, love, and you, we wait.The in-betweens have always been my favorite.
And me, standing under the splintered night, catching fractured glimpses into the black behind the black, hearing the prayers of stars, the angry whispers of the dark summer night.Its voice cracks,on your name.My eyes close,on your name.

One thing I have come to realize is that love is not always happiness.
