Bittersweet Devotion

Life is bittersweet; it can be hard to breathe. Should one open wide and swallow all their pride if they're fortunate enough to find someone so lovely? If one hides behind a mask, will they be left behind? Lovers make an oath, yet no one knows the range—how much can you bear on another's behalf? Is the fear of being alone stronger, or is it just the weight of enduring? When we contemplate our devotion, do we truly know the person we're enamored with, or are we wandering in the dark? Life is bittersweet—we bite off more than we can chew. And when we break down, it all falls on you.
