Is the grass greener?

So in thinking about the classic quote, "The grass is always greener on the other side", I wondered about its validity. In the past year I've had life go as far down as its ever been for me. It was terrible... I thought I'd forever lost the people that I had had in it for over 2 years @ the time. The person and family I thought was becoming mine slowly slipped away. It was the worst thing ever. And I still don't understand how acceptance to some people doesn't seem to work both ways, but that's besides the point. During this time, HE thought the grass was greener. Someone else was gonna make it different, make life better, feel the same except better. Well, that wasn't true. The hands don't fit the same, lips touch the same, body feel the same, voice speak the same words and laugh at the same things. That's the true treasure... And hard to come by. Sometimes, like what happened then, you want what you had back because you realized you were dumb for letting it go. Well, things turned around during that time and I thought it was a fresh start... Which in many ways it definitely was or has been. Now this subject came up again for me recently in a way, thinking about the future. Then it did with my good friend today. She had been with her guy for almost 5 years, and the difference was that he started to treat her bad. He talked down, acted a little inconsiderate, and didn't seem to have the same life goals and wants as she did anymore. Their sex life was also almost nonexistent and not too great when it did happen. This to me is a huge difference then mine ever was, and a definite reason to consider the other side. Either way won't be perfect, but everyone should be with someone where there's chemistry, mutual respect, common morals, dreams,and goals for the future. For me... Who knows if it is greener on the other side?
