Too much familiarity, all the questions answered not just by yes or no <br />The explanations as demanded all enumerated, and there are no extrapolations needed, <br /> <br />At the last notice, I think I have spoiled you like my first lover, <br />In giving everything, everything is totally lost, and parting has become inevitable <br /> <br />With you now, I have given trust, but now with limitations however, <br />It is not selfishness, it is something else, it is to keep you because there is something in you <br /> <br />That makes me alive somehow, you make me breathe, and you have given me a space <br />Somehow, I must withhold a little bit about myself, to make this love work, <br /> <br />Now when you ask, I will either make some white lies, and later some big lies or be silent <br />So not everything in me is taken away, and you will think that I am not at all consumed <br /> <br />I am sweet, I will be sweeter still in some measurable unknowns, and you will taste these, <br />With a note, that not all that is sweet shall be given, some will be bland and even bitter, <br /> <br />I want to keep you for a while; we will be talking some more, like sweet lovers <br />Whispering nothings, I will confuse you a little bit about some beginnings, I will swerve <br /> <br />Away a little bit, away from your closeness, this too much familiarity that is slowly <br />Breeding contempt, this familiarity that destroys and has no power to recreate.<br /><br />RIC S.
