We Could Run Off and Away

I would give you space And there would be no pouting If we did not want to talk for weeks, hours or days For we would both understand the value of think time I am an avid thinker and assume you are also. I used to have my own dark room. It is gone now, but this makes me well-aware You might want to share yours, and you might not. I would respect your decision, and not pout about it. I am respectful and fancy you are too. We could talk about everything but also live in days of silence Neither angry or sad, knowing the other was stewing around ideas I abhor pouting and if you do not, you should. We could run off and away Doing impulsive, crazy, hilarious things Or we could spend years at home In Lazy-boys, reading our dictionaries I sense we both love being impulsive and hilarious. Neither feeling slighted or irritated That the other wanted their private time I can think of no better Coupling than this I am psychic, and suspect you are too.

Nicely written poem Caren, and on a strong theme. The first view verses set out to explain the balance and independence between equals that should exist, and the rest of the poem is sheer fun and freedom. Great write!
