This speaks to me of a youthful enfatuation turned to synergy and being eroded over a period of harsh reality. The concept of carrying reminds me of people, and parts of myself, that don’t feel complete unless they are in that kind of relationship. What they need from it is not always a part of a healthy relationship and the lengths they will go, the steps they will skip to get there make for a house of cards. If not just for the structure itself, then definitely for the harsh reality that will batter it over time.

Also makes me grateful for mine having stood the test of time thus far.
