not sure
Why is it that relationships fade so much? Is it just because you learn to experience everything together that it just gets old after awhile? Why can't that magical feeling of first going out stay lit?
So often I think about this idea. I remember how everything was three years ago, and it makes me so sad to think about the way things are now. It just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It's not that I'm unhappy at what I have right now, I'm unhappy about the things my relationship lacks. I remember talking online used to be so much fun at first; something I looked forward to so much and now, I can barely keep interest for more than three minutes it seems. I gues I know him too well. Those butterflies I used to get every time he called, I think they've long flown away, and the little gestures that used to be there, well, they haven't been there for a long time. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate the companionship I have right now, because I do appreciate it. It just has become kinda boring. I don't feel like I have anything in common with him anymore and I wonder if things are really ever going to turn out the way I hoped for. Sometimes I can't help but think we're at two completely opposite ends of the spectrum.
God, I just wish it were like the good old days, you know, the first few months. Everything seemed so wonderful, so new, so everything. Three years past and I feel like I'm married only there's no committment, and I'll honestly be lucky if six years go by and that ever happens. Maybe that's a good thing.
Do you ever feel like you're trapped inside someone else's body? Like, you ask yourself what in the world you're doing? I feel like I'm a five years older than I truly am, trapped in the body of an seventh grader. Lately, I've been trying to look towards the future for answers, when I keep asking myself what I did in the past and how different things could be now. Kind of stupid questions, right? I mean, no use thinking about what might have been.
I think my problem is that I've gotten so use to one idea and basing so much around one person that I haven't learned to expand and find myself, and that's why lately I've been having such a hard time with just about everything going on around me. I wish I could just pack up my things, start over somewhere completely different. No matter what I do, things will always be complicated for me - no matter what, and I bring it upon myself.
I wish being in love could feel like it does in the movies...ya know, that sweep-me-off-my-feet feeling, butterflies 24/7, inseparable. I just want to be happy the way I used to be.
