The body chemistry that starts a couple’s sexual and emotional attraction lasts about two or three years, but can start changing as soon as a few months after meeting. Over time chemistry as a couple changes.

The feelings become less intense and exciting, and this is when a power struggle begins. It is not about sex.

Sex can take away from intimacy if it is used as a distraction or as a way to hide from true emotions or difficulties in the relationship.

When the excitement of a relationship starts to fade, some couples choose to stay in that relationship but without making much of an effort to build onto their bond.

But relying on habit and familiarity to keep the relationship going is a mistake.

Unspoken expectations and assumptions lead to resentment and unhealthy conflict, greater distance, stubbornness, and even dislike of one another.

When you have given your best, kept your focus on concerning yourself with how your partner is doing.

When you have learned the lessons that your relationships has provided you, and when continuing leaves you feeling diminished and depleted rather than inspired, it could be time to consider the alternative.

To do so is not a matter of quitting but rather letting go of the hopes and desires that you had of the relationship and allowing yourself to celebrate the rich experiences you shared and grieving the loss.

If you love others consciously and responsibly, then each relationship, regardless of outcome, provides you with greater insights and teachings that contribute to your wisdom, compassion, and Love that you have to bring to your future relationships.

The gifts on this path are abundant and amazing. They include: courage, commitment, imagination, compassion, and patience, lots of it.

Feelings fade when people change
I stayed the same
You played your games
And now we’re left with nothing
I’m not okay, but it’s okay
Don’t walk away
I’ll take the blame
Before we’re left with nothing
Don’t know if I’ll be fine without you
I hope I’ll be alright without you

I’m tired of:
Fake people, fake smiles, fake hugs
Fake hope, fake friends, fake love
Cuz fake friends are a real waste of time
And fake love is real waste of life
So don’t you go texting me
Telling me
Wish you were next to me
Rest in peace
Everything’s ending eventually
Best friends can become your enemies

Do we have to talk about it?
You know how I make you feel, right?
You know I’d be lost without you
You never felt something so real, right?
Remember when we ran through all the fountains
In downtown that one night?
Now I’m running away
From the one that I thought was the one, right, cuz

I’m tired of:
Secrets, lies, excuses
Holding back, the truth is –
I act like I don’t care, but I wish you did
You used to make me smile, now you make me sick
I wish I didn’t waste my time
I wish you didn’t change my mind

Do we have to talk about it?
You know how you make me feel, right?
You know that I’m lost without you
I never felt something so real, right?

In downtown that one night?
Now you’re running away
From the one that you thought was the one, right, cuz

I hope our feelings don’t fade
I know we know we need space
I’m sorry, I know it’s late
But I’ve got something to say
It’s gonna be okay, okay tonight
It’s gonna be okay, okay
It’s gonna be okay, okay tonight
Cuz tomorrow’s just a dream away
It’s gonna be okay, okay tonight
It’s gonna be okay, okay
It’s gonna be okay, okay tonight
Cuz tomorrow’s just a dream away
