It can be a struggle

 

To communicate.

 

To let the words stuck

in your throat

take a life of their own.

 

"You hurt me"

"I'm sorry"

"Can we try something new?"

 

I love you

 

It can be difficult

 

To compromise.

 

To give up

the fight in your soul

and apologize

 

"You were right"

"I'm sorry"

"We don't have to fight any more"

 

I love you

 

It can be painful

 

To cooperate.

 

To set yourself aside,

consider the feelings

you have and have inflicted

 

"I went over the line"

"I'm sorry"

"Let's work together on this"

 

I love you
