"Never" Is A Long Time

01/08/16

The cards say take action,

Yet the action required is inaction.

Hmm.

An aside, I can see why

Your friend's friend may be tangled

Regarding you.

You have no boundaries with her partner,

Yet hold yours to "never".

I accept and understand because

I planted this seed, and I love.

While having learned from those before,

I try to not hold you above nor to their standard,

But give you room to draw for me your own,

And us draw our own.

What exists is wonderful,

And it grows.

To think there will always be this sort of

Lid on it; though, is of course

At least at times disheartening.

Last night it did get my attention

That due to your previous encounters

And choices

Or for whatever reasons,

Your youngest seems so jaded.

"Never" is a long time.

"Never" is a long time.

Afterall, it's no less lengthy than

Ever, forever, or always.

Just ask an ex-smoker.
