focusing on myself and myself only

And again, love wasn't enough. Yours wasn't enough 3 years ago. Yours wasn't enough 2 years ago. Mine wasn't enough our entire time together.

Now, mine is not enough. Enough for you to stay.

Now, yours is not enough. Enough for me to fight.

Oh, we're both so tired. Tired of fighting, waiting, contemplating. Of dreaming and hoping, and grief and pain. Of trauma and healing. Of doubts and projections.

Oh, we're both so done. But how do we exit the cycle?

You know whats important to me in a relationship (both romantic and platonic) ?

Sitting in traffic. Waiting in line. Missing a flight. Running late for work. Searching for lost keys. Forgetting your wallet at home and having to circle back. Y’know when your hair gets caught in your necklace/earring for like 10 minutes and it’s not funny anymore cuz they were a gift and you’ll be really sad to break it plus it’s yanking your hair out? That too. When you’re ill does the other person comfort you and ease your pain?Grocery shopping. Bringing home the groceries and the dog is jumping on you and the cats are running in between your legs and you’re hangry. Being hangry. That’s important to me. But whats crucial is how all that gets handled. If one of us loses our cool will the other deescalate the issue or make it worse? Can we both lose our cool without blaming eachother for every little thing? How long does it take us to makeup and apologize for our hangry exchange of words? After an apology do we both feel understood, cherished and connected?
