We settle

We settle in so many things 

Convincing ourselves he's worth it 

Telling ourselves it will get better 

So we stay and continuously lower the bar 

For what we once thought was miraculous

Special . Unique . Wondrous love

We hadn't felt like this before so we shielded ourselves from all the flaws and all   

But we always know we 

Could . We could do better

But we also know the risk involved 

The lack of comfort when you're not with him

Lonely in a lonely world with the scarcity of great men 

We know so we settle and convince ourselves 

It's for the best . He's worth it . Until he leaves.
