The forbidden fruit is the most desired;
we want what cannot be obtained.
The scarcity principle is to be admired;
The lengths we go to to have our perceived freedoms maintained.

Unfortunately for me, the opposite is also true...
Once one is "too available", said desire crumbles.
From prior experiences, this is the knowledge I drew,
until all that's left is feigned apologetic mumbles.

We often drive away those we love most,
to settle for those we see to be "good enough".
To those who always seem inferior, here is my toast:
You will eventually meet someone who can appreciate your love.
