i read

somewhere that it takes chemistry AND character to make a lasting relationship.

chemistry to ignite it, and character to sustain it.

we had chemistry, didn't we? that was what drew us together.

unfortunately, our characters didn't mesh.

and the chemistry wasn't enough. the chemistry gave me such high expectations for us. it gave me such high a hope.

but the things that i had hoped for, you didn't have. might as i tried to look for them in you, you don't have them.

we were compatible and we shared common interests. but we didn't have the same goals, values and priorities in life.

and at the end of the day, getting along and a shared love for music weren't enough.

to build a life together, we had to see the same future together.

and that we didn't.

i realise that now. i can see that now.
