Expiry

I imagined a partner who would share goals with me and we'd work together for our future... but it feels as though you've slowed down while I kept running along. I never thought I would ever set an expiry date on our relationship, I thought we would be forever. However, I realize I have a rough timeline I want to follow and inadvertently set an expiry date on our relationship if certain conditions aren't met. This doesn't mean our love will expire, at least not on my end. I'm sure I'll still be loving you for some time afterwards should we find ourselves separate. Am I being too realistic? Is this what and who I truly am? A woman who sets deadlines-- even for relationships? I guess it's all part of the learning.
