Thoughts

Relationship is a construct

It cannot define, it only confines

We seek understanding so we label substance

All while failing to realize

True love cannot be captured by our words of attempted reasoning

Connection was simply ignited before language

You over-rate the one

By falling for every-one

Convinced that they’re A1 so they’re the one

But they’re just a one

For another broken heart

Together is,

Colliding souls, forming unison

Through sluggish ways of days

Through the aches of pains

Through the midst of bliss

Through the millions

Of harmless realizations

That they’re human too

Seeing them at their worst,

Only strengthening your perception of their perfection

Together is this.

And see, so many, they split

Then realize that they were never together

Because together was only their shared fantasy

So they danced around, striking a fragile connection of what-if

Before falling back into reality’s arms

Note: A1 is used by its definiton of: very good or well; excellent

(Just a little wordplay)
