Relationships

Relationships survive,

some say,

on solid ground

where temperaments meet,

where values agree

and there’s balance

between order

and impulse.

Or

they’re simply the

acceptance of a love unable to die.

Sure, we may hope to survive our time together

on the bases of matching traits,

or we can live out

the insanity of love,

come what may.

It’s not like we’ve a choice

anyway.
