Relationships are funny things:
Some can start with passion and then cool;
Some evolve and change overtime;
And some are just constant, always secure.

But then there are others, where the people in the relationship have completely different parameters on what the relationship is and where the boundaries are.
There's nothing more pleasant then discovering this truth and it's even better when the two people involved have known each other for a very long time.

Yeah, that's a little awkward, but it does happen. Hopefully, it won't happen to you or if it does, you're the person with the least to lose.

But what about the beginning of the list; relationships that begin with fire and fizzle out or are they just evolving into a more sustainable state? What can you live with, what do you want, what do you need?

All good questions.

I would never claim to be a relationship expert, except for the ones I am not involved in. If you're looking advice about a friend, co-worker, significant other, parent, whatever - I'm your girl. I have diplomas to prove I'm a qualified listener.

But, when it comes to the ones I'm involved in, living in, and maintaining?
I have absolutely no idea.

I have no idea when people want more from their relationships with me or perceive the status of our relationship is normal when I'm struggling.
I am clueless.

I think sometimes, I walk around in my own little protective bubble - seeing what I only want to see.
Does anyone else do that?
Anyway, I wrote the below after discovering what little I know about my relationships with others.

Grasp a bird’s eye view
Familiar faces below

Avoiding truth

Men band together biding
For a chance to see
Lovers are waiting
Strong desiring

Aware of implications
What they are hoping for?
Am I able?
Lovers adore
