Perspective and Boundaries

We have only windows Past the walls that people build A narrow view to whatever is on display All relationships are mirages viewed through double glazing Windows that can get dusty or damaged, Thus the best relationships are patient And simple, as the glass is lovingly cleaned No complaints Just happiness because you want to see with as much clarity as possible The face that you fall asleep thinking about. It is only those who are willing to love through the window That will feel the breeze as it is opened. That window is theirs Your love alone does not earn you the key Do not presume to know what they have hidden in the closets and back rooms When the curtains are drawn, They have not wronged you Instead of breaking the window Knock gently on the glass Ask, kindly It may be opened for you.
