In this dance of love, what shall I do?

In solitude, my love's away,
A yearning grows with each passing day.
His embrace, my newfound drug,
In his absence, emotions tug.
Cuddling close, almost too much,
Yet in his absence, a longing touch.
A night apart, the ache returns,
Loneliness in my heart churns.
To move in together, a thought so near,
Building a life, shedding a tear.
His love for me, a gaze profound,
In giggles and quirks, sweet love is found.
Tears welled up when I nearly departed,
A moment shared, emotions restarted.
Dark past revealed, vulnerability shown,
In comforting me, his love was known.
Harmony reigns in our shared space,
Anger's rare, a gentle embrace.
But revelations cast shadows dark,
Ghosts at night, leave a haunting mark.
My sister's doubts, a clouded view,
Lies and gaslighting, my heart askew.
Staring blankly as I weep,
Leaving me alone, emotions deep.
Substance abuse, a haunting claim,
Blocking out ghosts, chasing the same.
A desire for family, a shift within,
Drinking less, a chance to begin.
Through doubts and fears, our love does weave,
Closer now, my heart does cleave.
Yet the shadow lingers, a constant fear,
Will he revert when ties draw near?
Marriage, children, a life entwined,
Doubt persists within my mind.
A sister's worry, a gut feeling true,
In this dance of love, what shall I do?
