Relationships are victims
of my imagination,
so perfect in thought,
so imperfect in reality,
they're never what they seem.

Yep, they are perfect in thought. Nope, they never are quite what they seem.

To mimic is a form of praise unless
you have no thoughts of your own

relationships need structure, supplied by more than oneself or they may take a serious tumble

relationships are very difficult...in reality, when people are not able to live up to our expectations of what we think a relationship should be, it sets us and them up to fail...we all think and believe differently...so in theory..what it's about, is understanding, just b/c someone thinks and feels differently then we do, doesn't make them wrong and us right or visa versa...

very thought provoking write

I really think relationships are best when you have a real respect for each other.Can't be one way.Find some one you can respect and who respects you. Everythings else is second. JMO latearrival

I know what you mean.
However, I think they're the best of what you make of them.

The feelings you write of are so disappointing,
but the promise of love is hard to let go of.

Relationships, like Shrek and onions, have many layers. Beautiful or ugly on the surface, it is the foundation that decides their longevity. You said much in so few words. Nice work.
