One of my favorite acts of love is when you lay on me while we're on the couch. In that simplest action, i feel that you love me and wonder if i am misguided in seeing us as drifting. i want to stay like this forever: warm, close, comforting.
Then i remember your late night drunken call to PJ, your not being able to be away with your family for four days without calling a theater friend everyday.
i may overreact, but these are not my fault, as you would have me believe. When you get up to leave, so does the warmth, we drift further apart, and any attempt to seek comfort from you will be turned around so i need to comfort you.

The Bottomless Pit
Marriage is up and down. But what happens when it seems like you can't get up?
People grow, up and apart, and what you think is a core turns out to be a memory that was created from the first few dates, your wedding day, the birth of your first child. It's enough to bring you forward, but then the two of you communicate through half-smiles and concerned looks.
Loving the other person is not enough if both of you see love differently. Other interests come along in a person's life and with those as a barometer you realize just how passionless the person was about your relationship.
The relationship you hold dear, and are trying to hold on for dear life.
