Compromise

Sometimes You talk.

Sometimes I listen.

You need ***

and I need company.

We use each other equally.

A relationship

of scheduled appointments

convenience

and need

is all that we are.

You and Me.

You need someone to touch.

I need to feel you there.

Anything to make us forget

life isn't fair.

An agreement.

A compromise.

"Just stay here tonight."

A mutual understanding.

A give and take thing.

But we don't talk about it.

We pretend

that I really like you

and you like me.

Yet we both know the truth

that matter of fact...

 

We're only a meeting of minds.

We still store our hearts in the phobias

 

we hide.
