It’s been a struggle. Somewhere amid the drama and tragedy, we lost each other. So focused on winning the battle, we began fighting our own little skirmishes apart. But I needed you, needed your strength, your calm and reason.
In this lull, let’s runaway together. Sneak off to a secret haven, just us two. No contact with the outside world, no distractions, nothing but time to get reacquainted, and fall in love all over again.
We can talk of our future, what we hope for and dream about in early morning hours, in our oversized bed, backs turned, arms empty.

Oh… those times when we really want so badly to repair, reinvigorate. This was so well-written and lovely! 🙂

I love what you can say with so few words. I don’t know anyone who does it better.

Oh there are so many people I could do this with – those relationships aren’t just our spouses but our friends and families and more. And oh wow I can only imagine how much harder it is to write a post like this that is exactly 100 words than the majority I write.

This line: “We can talk of our future, what we hope for and dream about in early morning hours, in our oversized bed, backs turned, arms empty.” captivated me.
The ache for closeness, and the reality of that empty spot that cannot quite be named or filled is so evident. Very nicely done.

Even without drama and tragedy, the best of couples can be pulled apart due to life going off in different ways. Very poignant

Such an honest look at the direction relationships sometimes take. I think it’s easy to fall into old patterns, old habits…and to fall out of love. I loved your last sentence. It spoke volumes.
Nicely done!

I feel the ache of loss here, as if no amount of running away will bring this couple back together.
