Relationships fall apart. It doesn't happen suddenly. There's no argument, no dramatic farewell, no big words. You just notice one day that you're holding back in conversations, that you're no longer explaining everything you feel because you know it won't be understood. You notice that you've become quieter, more careful, less demanding. Not because the relationship has changed, but because you've changed. And then, for the first time, the question that you've been avoiding for a long time arises: can you still love someone if you can't grow with them anymore?
