Love. Pause. Run.

It is difficult to decide at which stage it should end. 
When we are in it, the relationship span seems too small
When we break apart, it suddenly becomes too long
And you are left wondering if only it had ended much sooner
When it was still at its peak
When it was still beautiful and full of love and longing
Like a wave of wind gushing past through you unexpectedly. 
Love should be a sudden, strong, passionate intersection
Full of sweet loving fragrance
That either should stay
Or should leave much before it fades into its end. 
Nobody likes these turn offs. 
I want to stay forever in love with you. 
But now, I am not. 

Next time I will learn to grab those pauses
Where usually the insecurities and fear start to seep in
And you seek your daily dose of assurances. 
That "pause", when you don't get a revert
When you notice the distortion 
And lessening of efforts, 
When you feel it in your gut that something has changed
The day you start clinging more
Doubting more
And... Loving more
That day, when the pause comes
End it. And run.
