Who on God’s green earth would want to be everything to anyone?   The air they breathe, the blood rushing through their veins, their happiness, their sadness, their raison d’ĂȘtre ?! I wouldn’t. Let me explain. When we fall in love and get into a relationship, we tend to forget that the reason we were attracted to our person, and they to us, is that we possessed certain qualities that we saw in each other and liked.   Made us think, I want to be around you and bask in your general awesomeness all the time.   It could be the way they talk, their love for animals, their sense of humour.   Hell, it could be the size of their breasts.   Whateve
