What You Will

I think we can rule infatuation out.
Because we both know this is hard work.
Who would pursue this half-starved, 
Don't kiss-and-don't-tell kind of life
If they didn't really want it?

Don't classify heart-breaking restraint, heart-mending honesty, mutual sleepless nights, countless calculated glances, true words written, true words shared and veractiy promised as a juvenile obsession: you're much more to me than that.

I know what it is, I told you,
Do with it what you will.
