Two Lover Ix - Effects

There is one way to know real Love Analogies of rivers, fires, light, dark are inadequate to describe it If you feel it, you know No submission to your plans Any controls you place on it Will fail All constraints, labels, timeframes preferences, ethnic requirements, financial requisites, social criteria or stupid little boxes will cease to matter A lesson one Lover may learn the hard way ___________________________________ _ Her mother and father talk to her the sun setting behind them over a tropical sea She has not spoken to her Lover for two weeks Part of her idea for their "break" A way to see how they do without one another She thought it was a sensible thing to do Very smart and a good solid plan Plus if she is not talking to him all the time She thought it would get her parents off her back about him Now she thinks it was stupid She misses him and hopes he misses her She gets to call him in a week at the half way point She nods again at her parents Appearing to have been listening But really, Daddy makes sense Mommy makes sense They really do. They are concerned about the length of this relationship Her Lover is not right for her Not permanently Seems like a nice enough boy and they know she likes him Emphasizing "like" But he is too poor Not a good family Not their religion Not their ethnicity and culture Of course, they know she has pride in her culture, right? "Long term, this cannot be" "Don't get too attached" "Hasn't this gone on long enough?" "Can he really make you happy?" "You used to have so much fun here Now you are sad. Is that good if he makes you sad? Weren't you more fun before him?" "Remember, this is only for college. Just college. It doesn't have to be more than that Why does it need to be more than that?" She makes appropriate sounds of agreement Of course, she loves her religion and culture She and her Lover are a bad match Ethnically, religiously, socially Her parents are right Don't worry He is just a fun boyfriend right now Just a bit of fun while young She believes it Mostly. Almost entirely. "Don't worry, guys," she says rolling her eyes. "Can we talk about something else?" Feeling her insides twist at the lie she barely knows is a lie Deep down inside Way down where she can barely see it Where she does not want to admit it Where Love defies her organized mind She knows that if she starts to lose Her Lover Her goalposts will move and ultimatums will become a sham Pride will suffer She will want him and miss him Nothing else will matter for a time
