Miscommunications
Inspired by a storyline from a show.
Don't put your life on hold for others without proper communication. Relationships are give and take. But if there is a lack of communication or a misunderstanding of time and attention, things can unravel and break down.
Never assume that someone understands what you are thinking or feeling. Relationships are complicated. People are complicated.
Take care, stay safe and best wishes.
Miscommunications
By Michelle Morris

You loved each other
You both thought you were doing your best
But there were miscommunications
That got between clearer heads
She thought you put your job first
That you didn't take her career seriously
You felt you put your career on hold
That you were losing opportunities
The miscommunication between you
It created a chasm over time
Until you were standing on opposite sides
Losing all rhythm and rhyme
Love may seem enough for us
But it's just one element of a good relationship
She flew away to a new career in Europe
While you were left behind without her
You loved each other for years
But you learned that love isn't everything
Maybe over time you'll become friends
And never have miscommunications again
