You dig too deep when there is no need to, depleting My resources, ignoring (perhaps unaware of) what is in front of You, why don’t you want to see! I was hopeful, even in mild anguish, But I do not want to be another, who does this, But you scare(d) me. Real bad Nerves, after so many hesitations from aggravation Like an animal distrusting, will run. Do I taunt her? Only to hide promises. Do I not have what I offer? Why must words seal. Mistakes often made, I hope I made one than. The Agreement is not fulfilled. Yet… When you are in the room, you are the only Person, always the only one –always so singular. You are like a force of nature The essence of vitality, too extravagant for Time, you belong in another among Greek goddesses And a higher world of Spirit Maybe morals too, but I do not know Whether they exist, or are only ideals. You are an ideal woman, you are Ideal. Does this drive me from you? That I, rebel of convention, dejected of state And you enforce, unknowingly, what I resist. To conquer, yes, it would be wrong. To conquer you, Would be to fall in two, a trap I hastily avoid. I do not speak of love, but assumptions So hindering to our development—so… Stagnant, repugnant and UGH, that feeling. I am independence’s lover And through love of you, I fear I channel: you must be independent Even of me, totally. Fie! Am I too await this conclusion of all that I...? Hark! Think not of that future, potential unknowable Time. I cannot grip it, nor make it mine And this I must think of you too, Fearful that I am too comforted by abandonment And commitment renders me impotent And so the struggles last, and love waits unresolved. Too hasty at best, and too stupid in truth, Love unlearns to re-teach old lessons

Love unlearns so it may re-teach all lessons
