In The Meantime

My fondness must not grow
unless our philosophies show
a unity of direction and goals
else I'll end up on the shoals
of my shipwrecked illusions
with many spiritual contusions
and loss of will to survive
such any romance to revive
would require an amnesia
for which I've no anaesthesia
so the pain would be so real
I'm experiencing a firm fear
the strength I cannot steal
if you don't also hold me dear.

I'm in way over my head.

I must find a girlfriend instead
of worrying about your goals.

In the meantime, I am, Yours.
