take out your dancing shoes

maybe in the course of loving each other, we have forgotten the many others we loved before those nights of supper, the many others that still depend on us, and despite our neglect of them call us their own.

maybe its time to make that dash back to independance, not stand-alone independance, but focus a little less on us and more on them. part of me resists this, for in this course we bid farewell to the dactyllic lalaland, and face reality. but the other part of me knows we need to do this, before we lose the people important to us, to stress, to old age, to careers, to self-abuse, to puberty, to teenage angst, to frustration.

this is as much your suggestion as it is mine-- we are still one, but independant. a couple, but not an entity joint at the hip.

but, sweetheart, my question is this.
when we find independance, what if we find that couple and independance are seperate irreconcilable entities, mutually exclusive? what then?
would then, taking what is now to find out that answer be too high a price?
where does the line of couple and independance lie?
