You and I were magnets
Two magnets trying to force ourselves together
Trying to appreciate the differences but failing to meet in the middle
We could get there
Sometimes one of us would compromise
Just enough to make the other happy
But now we’re both so tired of the effort it takes
Both so tired of forcing something neither of us enjoy for long enough to fight for
And maybe we could get there
But the expectation you placed on me, to do what I was not comfortable with, was just far too heavy for me to carry anymore
It’s not to say I don’t love you
Or that you’re not a wonderful person
But I no longer want to try to fit what you want, and you don’t want to fit what I need
And maybe we’ll never find a magnet whose bond is permanently strong
Maybe it doesn’t exist
But it’s better to be alone
Than to be in a situation that both of us are tired of forcing
