Somber is a poem that expresses one's anxiety when it comes to realizing how nervous and brittle the other lover feels regarding commitment. Perhaps it's reasonably difficult for the individual to sail in unfamiliar waters--for commitment is a sea that has never been explored before. Give that individual plenty of time and plenty of space. It's hard, truly it is. It's hard to suppress your intimacy in a time where you feel as if you should give more. Be passionate. Be prudent. Be patient.
