"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
-Anais Nin
When do you know that love is wearing out and that the end might be coming? If it's worth fighting for then how do we save it.
Love is a funny thing for it can give us the courage of a war hero and the fear of a little child. We dare to do many things in the name of love, but dare not to take a step forward for fear of making a mistake.
Love reveals what we are missing and highlights our flaws. Now the question is whether you realize this in time to fix it for our own interest and our partner's interest. Many of us would want to change the world for that special someone. But isn't that easier than changing ourselves? And would it not take an unknown period of time to fix oneself at a 'satisfactory level' either by our standards or our partner's?
What if we do our best, but it isn't good enough for our partners? What then? As our heart falls into a well of sorrow lit by a candle of self-hate, we shall ponder on our past experiences and find that nothing can be done. We can only hope that the love of our relationships are strong and that it will carry us out of this difficult trial.
