Just thinking...

In the beginning of a relationship, the two people are sewn together. They go on with their relationship with those original stitches. Just like a favorite t-shirt the string gets worn into and weak. Each bump in the road makes the stitching unravel. Bump by bump the tear gets bigger. One can decide to let them unravel, or try to fix the stitching. The original stitch will never be there again, but perhaps new string, stronger string, can mend the tear. We know that the relationship will never be new and fresh like the first new day, but with the patchwork and worn in stiches the relationship fits like a favorite pair jeans. Comfortable and there for you, they bring out your best features, and hide your ugly ones, but they love you no matter what.
