A Very Fine Balance

There is a very fine balance in relationships, all - between wanting and needing, finding that balance between being together and having space to be with yourself with your own thoughts, between reaching out and pulling away gently and lovingly, give and take in smiles in firmness in voice and expression in money in gifts in giving of the self, between lending a hand and letting the other figure things out, stretching yourself for the other and recoiling and being selfish with what is yours, what you want for yourself, possibly moving to another country for love, for a life that could bloom into beauty that could only be imagined to most but could be a reality for us, away from loved ones and friends but only a plane ride away to a paradise for Giuliano and me. There is a fine balance in this relationship, but one that we are willing to discover together.
