No One Said It Would Be Easy

"No one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far"
- "No One Said It Would Be Easy"
Sheryl Crow

I often thought my life should have a soundtrack, as if music should cue certain moments. My iPod has a knack of choosing songs that mirror a moment, as if someone has created the aforementioned background music for my life.
Yesterday, when I wrote that e-mail, it chose "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough". I always believed that if you loved someone, everything else would follow suit. Distance and differences could never be a barrier.
Then you came along and everything changed.
Sometimes love isn't enough. Life has a way of creating situations that even the purest love cannot overcome.
I thought I was doing the right thing. Everyone tells me I am.
"Just give it time."
No one said it would be easy, but no one said it would be this hard.
