You cannot spend more
than 5 hours
in my company.

It defies the laws of
nature, gravity, attraction
every ******* law
you can imagine.

You cannot pass the night
with me, even if
you try.

An internal timer
goes off
and suddenly it hurts
to lie in my arms.
It burns our skin
to touch.

Available
is simply
impossible.

It frustrates the Universe
for you and I
to be anything but
temporary.
