Please Understand

I wrote this sonnet after a conversation with someone I care about. I haven't fully explained to him that this is how I feel yet, but soon I will have to.

Of course I want to believe we can last
But time always wins and ev’rything ends
Soon we will part, our fire dead and past
Yet you think we can fight what life intends?

Given the chance, each other we'll ruin
Desire elapsed, resentment ensured
Hope against hope would bring the undoing
Of earned history, remembrance obscured

And maybe our finish is not our doom
Rather the savior of sweet memory
Our expiration date above us looms
Instant grief, but fondness in reverie

So choose the lesser of these sorry fates
Lose now or worse later, sorrow awaits

If that is what you want to say then it makes sense. When I say "everything" I pronounce it with three syllables. If that is how you pronounce it then you don't need to write "ev'rything" because there is no syllable that you are missing. He would likely argue that no one knows what life intends and there is no comparison of the sorrows we experience.
