About

We met in a general education class when we started college at 20, becoming friends and then lovers. Despite being in different departments, we always ate together and walked home to our nearby houses. When you said you wanted to live alone, I suggested we move in together, and we have lived together from age 23 until now. It has already been a full 8 years. The moment everything you used to love about the other became annoying, we realized we were in a burnout phase. It was a natural decline we thought would never happen to us, who loved each other so deeply. As the burnout hit, we began to ignore each other and stopped going on dates. We spent time in our own rooms and stayed busy meeting our own friends. Even though we lived in the same house, we checked each other's news through Instagram. We pretend not to care. Our love, which we were never confused about, is now so uncertain. Exhausted by one another, we have neither the courage to end this relationship nor the courage to overcome it.
