Personally, I would prefer that I live with my significant other for a little while (maybe 6 months to year tops) because it helps to see their home life. Sure, it's completely possible without doing such, but living together breaks down one of those barriers that comes up in relationships with my generation. Unfortunately, so many of my peers are very pragmatic and detached from humanity as a society, but that's for another post. If things are still going well after a few months, it's time to start shopping, and head forward. Now, this doesn't say that sleeping in the same bed comes with living together. Some couples would prefer it, some would prefer separate bedrooms until matrimony, but for me, it's just the simple statement of living together lets me see how they handle their home life/responsibilities.
Sorry if this came out a bit weird, my brain's kinda scattered today :)
Hey, just joined up and figured what better way than to come on here. I'll throw out my most recent work to the wolves for (honest) criticism and opinions. Here we go :)
I sit alone now
Crimes of evenings past reside with me. I feel a sense of loss that can only be true. I recollect the pieces as I try to soldier on. I wonder if my choices were made because of you.
I cry.
Facedown in a bitter-black dream. Like a child, scolded and betrayed. Filled with such a venomous dread. I blame no one but myself anyway.
I am haunted.
I close my eyes and those demons come out. I see your face in those brief moments. Not of respite, but a more desperate pain. I can't escape you or my pride. I can't fight anymore. So I feign indifference and strength. I'm weak though. Dying inside. I hope that His comfort comes soon. So that maybe I will know that I wasn't wrong.
