(N)either/(n)or


18 May 2012
Why?
  • Because, perhaps, despite my avowals, I think about the future and I don’t see any. If I do, it scares me.
  • Because your bouts of anger are capable of the unthinkable, if not for real, in my imagination.
  • Because I worry. And I can’t recall how it feels to not worry about your routine, practicalities, etc.
  • Because I hadn’t found myself till I found you, and then I turned into an appendage.
  • Because the thought of being alone - without you to fall back on for accusations, or emotional support - is unthinkable, and this is Not how it should be.
  • Because I shouldn’t lie anymore.
Because I love you. But it’s not an absolute. Love never is, unfortunately.

Why not?
Because I love you, and now it is difficult to breathe.

What if it doesn't?
