realationship.

a relationship is not …

the shape of the connection,

duration of the conversation,

the gift of witness,

the gravity of your own longing,

being recognized,

a future you envision,

memory or premonition,

museum or monument,

routine or reflection,

care or kindness,

fear or fascination,

obligation or desire,

commitment or affection,

love or lust,

miles on the road or gas in the tank.

when you put energy into a relationship, it changes reality. reality reorganizes. that’s how you’d know.
