A Societal Experiment
Society, at first, accepted our harmonious but different relationship.
Because society thought we would be coming back to its monotonous linear thinking.
But, when it became obvious that we weren't going to do what society wanted us to do, society started to chip away our relationship.
The cracks didn't begin to show until two decades within our relationship.
Both of us were oblivious to their presence because we were so wrapped up in our love.
I finally noticed the cracks, but it was too late to save the relationship.
You tried to keep me from going back to the monotonous normality.
I finally saw our folly, but I enjoyed the time with you.
But if you want to do another outrageous experiment, don't call me.
