I'm Here, Aren't I?

Being here does not mean that you love the person nor does it mean that you want to be there. Sure my blogs have talked about him or her spending time with you and your not being left alone over the weekends and etc. But just because you are here with me does not mean that you are really "here" with me. Let me explain. What if you are both in the house or living together, but there is no communication? What if you are out having dinner and you have nothing to talk about? What if when you make love, it's just get it and be through? What if one of you is upset or bothered about something and the other person doesn't notice? Relationship is more than just being there. It is about becoming engaged, if you will, in the life of the other person. Relationship is involvement. Relationship is active. Relationship is I have a true and honest concern for you no matter what. Relationship is I'm here in every way, the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, the joy, the pain, the excitement, the hurt, the growth, the decline, the support, the encouragement, the push, the take, the give, the help, the sorrow, the thanks, and the forgive. Work on your relationship with your mate - be there in every way.
