It always gets ugly.
Ugly, the one you need only and absolute patience to deal with.
No bond, how much ever unique and special sustains its novelty. Because thats the ultimate truth: it is in fact getting old.
But what lies in your hands, is if you let it grow fragile with the age.
It gets beyond imagination. Beyond " I will stay beside you no matter what " and " I will love you no matter what". Because you don't know what "what" is going to be.
It could be their constant nagging or your compulsive cleaning. The way their shirt has to be paired with the exact trouser when in the cupboard or your habit of not being able to sleep in a clean , dry nightsuit. Weird.
Weird, the word itself gets so many new definitions. You cross that milestone way back, where "weird" was something to smile and boast about.
As two people who decided to stay together for as long as destiny lets them, you jump over and slide through hurdles that are nowhere close to your image of an ideal relationship.
Oh, the emotional strength you will have to gather up. Not just for the big times, but moments when you'd rather slam a table and break a glass. Instead, you decide to breathe and smile. Smile for the sake of them. For the sake of you two.
The question is, are you willing to smile when your heart aches to give up at once?
You can't answer that, cause only time does.
