Me Time is the Key

Moving a little too fast
Or maybe just a bit slow
When it comes to relationships
There are many things we need to know.
They talk about compatability
But oftentimes opposites attract
Communication is vital
Just the nitty-gritty, nothing too abstract.
Being sensitive to each other's needs
Compassion there is the key.
Let's not forget something really important
Having time apart to be me.
Me time is perhaps the most important
It's like taking a timeout from each other.
Two different people from two different worlds
Need time to breathe or in the relationship they smother.
And being smothered in love doesn't sound bad
But idiosyncracies tend to arise
When the two of you don't have a moment for yourself
The relationship seems now not to thrive.
And it's not either's fault
That things all of a sudden begin to sour
You've spent every winking moment with each other
Smothering each other with love and compassion hour after hour
Until the once flourishing blooms of the relationship
Begin to slowly wilt and die.
Now you've got your time apart from each other
Unfortunately in a grave your relationship does now lie.
And it's not too late to revive it
However your relationship's nearing its end.
Only a willing couple can bring it back from the brink
Any unwillingness will to its death send.
So truly willing or truly unwilling
We'll just have to wait and see.
I guess it's all just part of the learning curve
Me time in a relationship keeps it healthy.
