Notes About The Poem

We all own this new lifestyle, whether we want it, love it, or loathe it. It's an odd relationship with ourselves as a society now I think.

A Modern Relationship

I love you, I hate you, 
I love that we’re opposite, in every single way,
I love the darkness of the night, 
When you’re the brightest day

Flashing red then green, 
The fleeting flame, always on the go,
Whereas I prefer to take my time, 
Walking life down on the slow

Through the fields of flowers,
Thinking about my future up ahead,
Yet it seems like you’re already there, 
Shouting what could be said

About ourselves, our truth, our heart, 
About the things that make us smile,
You’re the whole world that I’m living in, 
You’re my computerized lifestyle.
