The Better of Two Words
There's no "I" in committed relationships.
One breaks the chain of unity
With each use. It should be avoided
Like a plague.
Stop using "I" in relationships
It's like crossing a bridge to nowhere;
Tantamount to a shipwrecked soul
Stuck on a lonely island.
Do not make yourself an individual.
Instead of the "I" word, use "We."
It's the canoe across
The creek of selfishness.
"We" acknowledges your partner;
It's a word of inclusion
That strengthens the ties that bind.
In relationships, always use "We."
