Can't Go On Without You

Youtube dialed up this number for me the other day:

Well they thought they were made for each other
One thinking of one another
Never thinking just for one second
She would take a different attraction
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you
Can't go on without you, yeah
I can't go on without you
Oh so, what's the point of breaking my sweet heart?
She wanted me to let down my guard
Well, you know what they say, it's better that way
So, so you better hush and walk away
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh lord
Can't go on without you, ooh ooh
I can't go on, won't go on, living on, without you
Woah yeah
Woah ah
Well, was I supposed to wait for you sweetheart?
And hide away the shame
Yes I keep it all inside
Though the thought had crossed my mind
To do all the things I regret and we don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
I can't, I can't, I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh lord
Go on without you, ooh ooh
I can't go on without you babe
Yeah
Ahh, she loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
My love's gon' love me
Oh so what is left but a broken man?
'Cause nothing hurts like a woman can
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh yeah
Can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh
Oh without you lord, without you
Without you babe, without you
Oh lord, you

It's a beautiful song,  one I'd never heard before, and it expresses a sentiment with which I am quite familiar. It is how I have felt, at various points, about my current man.

Not gonna lie, there's still a huge part of me that feels this way. But there's also a part of me that listens to my yoga teacher call us "very entangled" and understands that isn't healthy. There's a part of me that really isn't sure, as much as we love each other, that we bring out the best in each other. Or want the same things.

I'm reserving judgement for now, and just trying to put some space around the feelings, reminding myself that mostly, I want what is best for both of us...
