How to love a woman.
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” -Bob Marley

I knew the moment that what we had was going to shift, to change, to alter into something more. But at the same time, I knew that I was losing all the effort to make it what it was up until that point. That moment in time where we couldn’t go back.
Now, it’s too late to change. Too late to fix what’s broken and scarred. God knows I tried so hard to hold on to that innocence, that naive fantasy of perfection. So many times I would tell you that it doesn’t have to be routine, it doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be the first six months over and over, for years to come. That feeling where you felt so happy you could die. Right there, in each other’s arms, feeling your heart explode from too much love.
But time warps even the most memorable moments that reside deep in our mind. Complications arise, leave a stain, and change the innocence of what you had. The most intimate things shared between two people fade into the stain, making it grow until it takes over the place where your heart was.
And then it is never the same again.
When I can’t explain the jumbled thoughts that are tangled together in my head.
