"Enlightenment-Romanticist Complex", you called it,
my conflict of idealism and rationality
Like a doctor, you laid it out for me plainly
the nature of my illness, from which i was unlikely to recover
though somehow you, the eternal pessimist,
managed to harbor some hope that I would.
But tell me, love,
honestly
weren't you, yourself, still suffering from the same?
You looked forward to a full recovery,
but imagine how deliriously happy we could have been
in our little sick-bed.
