Where is the one <br />I used to love so passionately – <br />and who, I thought, <br />loved me so passionately too…? <br /> <br />good question.. <br /> <br />Two hot, cool chicks, <br />Ellen Berscheid and Elaine Walster, <br />told me that… <br />(OK, ‘Interpersonal attraction’, <br />Freeman, NY,1978 – that’s <br />even before your parents knew…) <br /> <br />that we should distinguish carefully <br />between passionate love <br />that’s too hhot-t-t... not to grow cold… <br />and companionate (the slippered) love… <br /> <br />Give it six months they say. <br />And if you’re still on speaking terms, <br />come back and tell us what you’ve found… <br /> <br />So goodbye, dear, and Amen… <br />here’s hoping we’ll think, now and then… <br />it could be for keeps… <br /> <br />and perhaps the perfect gift, <br />the romantic film, the bottle, <br />nose candy or the pills, <br />the getaway, just-each-other holiday, <br />white sand, sun, palm trees at <br />a brochure’s distance - <br /> <br />and the whole damn cycle could <br />start all over again… <br />but... you cutest butt...: <br /> <br />come live with me and be my love, <br />and wrong, we’ll all researchers prove…<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/welcome-to-my-casting-couch-but-read-the-small-print-first/
