Notes About The Poem

Why do people always want commitment?
-----------------------------------------------------

Steady Moments

I dread those moments
when infatuation begins
to be commitment.

When a wanting to
be together turns into
an obligation.

whoa, I can’t be
“your”  girl - I’m not looking
to belong to you.

What commands my heart
who knows? But it can't be
kept - pressed like a rose.

Is a girl b#tchy
if she won’t commit to 
a relationship?

It can be quite a challenge when parents, teachers, and government treat you as a child yet expect you to behave like an adult. There are quite a number of fish in a school, and it takes time and experience to sort them out - especially when they behave like a child! Good luck! Aloha! Rico

Always be open and honest with those around you, Anais, let them know what you expect out of your relationship before the wanting becomes an obligation. And always follow your heart. You will probably break some hearts along the way but you must always look out for yours first. My humble thoughts for the day. John
