Not to be demanding or demeaning or critical at all, but just because I am genuinely (and impartially) curious. I'll confess, I never do because I'm worried of the answer. I'm not scared of hearing "nowhere fast" but of placing undue emphasis on the destination and not the journey.
So think about it. If you knew how your relationship was going to end, be it 5 years or 5 days into the future, would you leave now and spare yourself the waiting? That would be the practical thing, wouldn't it, because this isn't the love thats going to be permeant. Not the love that will tie up all loose ends. Not the one that you were aspiring to.
But does that make it any less valuable or precious?
I mean, lets be honest. Life is generally shit. Whether its bad luck, karma, coincidence or mistakes its hard to sustain a smile on your face for more than a few days at a time. And if you can you are an insincere liar with an agenda.
The happiness generated from relationships is so powerful it can change people. It can loosen their morals, betray their families, de-rail the teachings of religion, break habits and suppress appetites. Why would anyone want to forfeit these unparalleled emotions just because its not the love thats going to be recognised by the state.
Even if you discover that there are only 15 days of bliss left for you and your (perhaps) temporarily beloved, shouldn't you relish in the euphoria of what is between you for those last days?
It only matters that it makes you happy. For this day, for this hour, this minute. This one second.
Today I'm happy.
