A Very Temporary Arrangement

Neville

A Very Temporary Arrangement

 

None of this is permanent, I trust you understand ..

We therefore,

need to call a halt, to certain matters which have

somehow come to hand ..

It seems, there is no point in us pretending anymore

and wouldn’t it be foolish

to deny we ever even happened .. Since that would

be more than just a crime,

it would surely border on a sin .. So maybe we just

need to call this whole thing off ..

Before there is the slightest chance we might fall in love ..

    Without that slight fatalistic tinge and hue it’s exactly almost an Irving Berlin song

        Denying love lol so very clever my dear Nev. Love the thought of a lover pretending it's not true knowing that it's probably the greatest love of all ❤️

          Yes, when you finally realize that she's not the one for you. That something is just not right. No matter what happens next, someone will be hurt. Unless she truly does "understand" and then maybe she is the one for you, - Phil A.

            But love is so important in life, my long life has been filled with it.

              even when spoken in jest, some things are truer than true .. 🐀

              if love is falling deep
              then be thankful for our fear
              of falling
              keeping us from being head over heels
              for every person we're attracted to
              theirs just not enough rope in the world
              to pull ourselves
              out of those pits we dig, time n again..
              (far too many of us scarred by love will relate I think, Hyung)
              wonderfully paced

                Cheers brother Mek .. Neville
