Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.

Because I trust in the ever-changing climate of the heart. (At least, today I feel that way.)
