Just So You Know

You will end up disappointing your wife,

and she will do the same to you,

but you will find your way back to each other.

They say that half of all relationships is rupture.

The other half is repair. Rupture and repair,

rupture and repare – and so it goes.

You are not her, and she is not you. 

You are together yet separate – 

two burs clinging to the fabric of the world,

blown apart yet coming back again, always.

You will end up disappointing your wife,

and she, my friend, will do the same to you.
