LOVE.. it can make you or crush you.

When LOVE was first found, it was as pure as ice and as clear as crystal but then LOVE is exactly like a crystal champagne glass. Once it is new it is as pure and as shiny as it ever was, but as things are treasured and kept a long time , it begins to turn dusty and foggy. That's when we decide to clean it again. that is exactly how relationship goes. There is no relationship that doesnt require demand.. but too much of demand isn't it leading to control??? Does being in a relationship require one to surrender the WHOLE life and CHANGE COMPLETELY to be with one another? im in a dilemma right now, how do i face this change, i can bare looking in the mirror and seeing the change. It is hurting me deep down when someone whom i love cant LOVE me for who i am. I CHanged but to my other half its not enough? im so lost!
