SHALL WE DANCE?!?

{Relationships (to me) are like a dance!}

I make a move and you make a move.

You are doing one thing/something/anything for that matter, and I soon follow after with my doing my very own thing for you.

I take a step and you take a step.

You do this, I do that.

You post a song on your profile and I am going to do the same, sooner or later, anyway.

You kiss me and I kiss you back.

I acknowledge you and the next time I see you doing the same to me.

I, you, we say sweet something simultaneously.

We appreciate one another.

We are smiling at each other.

We are laughing together.

We are respectful toward our relationship.

We are connected with one another.

We are on the same wavelength.

We are one on a deeper level.

We are mutual muses for both of us, towards each other, with one another.

And vice versa.

I am wondering would you count your longest relationship as the most ‘’successful’’ one?

Have we learnt something, anything from the experience, from the person we had been involved in and with?

From every relationship we have invested ourselves into we have also gained an incredible amount. We are not the same human beings. I am not the same person as I was before I entered into this relationship. So much so, I have learnt about myself, about the other person, about respect, about tolerance, about kindness, about caring, about sharing, about love, about patience, about good timing and about bad timing, too, about thinking as one, about true listening, about sharing ideas, about comparing ideas, about inspiring one another, about being there for each other, about giving up, about music, about songs, about tracks, about tunes, about bands, about deep heart beats, about walks, about talks, about chats, about responding, about texting, about waiting and awaiting, about the rides, about the driving, about a whole lot!

Would I be describing a relationship as a 50/50% partnership?

Well, maybe yes and maybe not!

It is way more than that!! Way more! Let us go over - board here now…

What would you possibly sacrifice for the sake of your relationship?

What would you possibly sacrifice for the sake of your partner?

What would you possibly sacrifice for your very own sake?

What would you possibly give up on in order to make the relationship happy and fulfilled and working and on the top of the mountain?

Would you need to be just a little bit more forgiving?

Would you need to be just a little bit more giving?

Would you need to be just a little bit more loving?

Would you need to be just a little bit more grateful?

Would you need to be just a little bit more respectful?

Would you need to be just a little bit more appreciative?

Would you need to be just a little bit more patient?

Would you need to be just a little bit more present?

Would you need to be just a little bit more open?

Would you need to be just a little bit truer?

Would you need to be just a little bit more honest with yourself?

Would you need to be just a little bit more helping?

Would you need to be just a little bit more organized?

Would you need to be just a little bit more spontaneous?

Would you need to be just a little bit more passionate?

Would you need to be just a little bit more fun?

Would you need to be just a little bit friendlier?

Would you need to be just a little bit more compassionate?

Would you need to be just a little bit more of yourself?

What would you need to work on yourself in order to satisfy the cravings of all in question?

Relationships are a way for us to relate to each other. They are helping us a bridge the gap between us two. We should be working at it every single each day to ensure its progress. I am talking about working at it. I am not talking about working on it.

Has been something failing big for you?

What could be improved?

The dance we are doing, the happy one with the one person in our life, is a precious one. The one that should not be ever taken for granted, it is the one that never ever should be taken advantage of. It is exactly the one that should be acknowledged as such, appreciated and been grateful for.

The road to that very destination can take years and the journey to it may not be an easy one. There may be so many obstacles that would have us consider it all done, finished, call it quits and totally and absolutely give up on the whole concept of relationships. 

There may be so many challenges that we may even question ourselves if we are actually really destined for a relationship or if we are meant to stay alone, lonely, single for the rest of our lives, after all….

My own story is still on, still continues, still going strong for most of the time.

The relationship, any relationship, for that matter, is worth the wait, even the pain, the time, the sacrifice, the cries, the sorrow, the tears, the confusion, the worry, the sleepless nights, the weary eyes, the mindless thinking, the days without any food eaten, the days to go without drinking, the days without the muse, the days without the inspiration, the days without any creativity whatsoever.

And yes, it is so painful when the feelings are not appreciated, when the love is not reciprocated, when the passion is gone, when the lovers eyes are not looking straight at you, when you want your own space, when you both need time to think for themselves, when the ideas are not shared and mutual, when all the plans seem to fall through and fall apart, etc.

Get up, dust yourself off and carry on.

Life goes on.

It is time to move on.

NEXT!! J
