Single[] married[] in a relationship[]?
I hate when I see this in a questionnaire.
Can you not be two things at once?
In a relationship yet empty at heart?
Taken, yet still searching ?

I'm in a relationship.
I have a boyfriend.
I have one specific guy in my life.
But we don't date.
we fight.
we're falling out of love.
Am I in a relationship?

I'm Married.
I can't see myself with anyone else.
He is the one person I see a future with.
But there's no ring.
and there probably won't be one.
He's "only 19 and too young to think of this"
Am i married?

I'm single.
I have no plans with any boys any day of the week.
I have no rules that a boyfriend might impose.
But my heart's not available.
And even if he doesn't care, I do.
I still have a boyfriend.
Am i single?
