Many things are destined to work out in many ways. With or without you involved, it will happen anyway, so we can take it for granted. But in a relationship, most things must be worked on with all your might.

It takes effort from both sides to build trust in each other. To open up and show the wounds from the past. To acknowledge weaknesses and receive protection. To love and give your best.

Because a relationship that was fought alone will not go anywhere. Sooner or later, our presence requires recognition. Because humans need certainty about their existence so that there wont be unnecessary worries. We also need to receive to be in peace.

But as time goes on, mistakes are bound to happen. Unknowingly we may have hurt or been hurt by each other. Some things may even be unswerving and unforgettable because they hurt too much.

Then we also still need to try again to forgive and forget. So that the good that has been done will not be in vain and this relationship can work well.

So can we stay? Because I still want to fight if you don’t give it up. I still want to try this if you don’t back down now. I still want to figure this out as long as we’re in it together.
