Why Is It Like This?

Life's like a relationship.
You can pick which route to take.
You choose which way to go,
And how to handle each step along the way.

You can hold the ending in your hand,
But it's not all yours to take.
You can end the relationship or your life,
Or wait until things fade out
and it ends itself.

You can make it miserable, terrible,
Wonderful, Amazing.
You can keep the spark alive,
Or let it die out.

You have the will.
You hold it in your hands.
Your choices change everything for you.
But don't be fooled,
Someone can end it for you.

A relationship can be over,
Just as quickly as life.
One moment it's perfect,
The next it's gone over a simple mistake.

One moment it's everything you wished for,
Then it was ended.

Or it can last long like a life.
It can last forever,
If you want it to.
It can be a quick painful ending.
Or a short painless one.

What's the difference,
Between life and love?
