We say
we will get married
if we get to 40
and still single
For now
we just
fuck passionately
in between our
each semi-committed relationship
Deep down
I realise that
we don’t want to
lose each other
by giving our hearts
to someone else
There is wisdom
in knowing that
we can’t lose
what we don’t have
like our parents’ marriages
She sees drowning beings
everywhere
reaches out her hand
to rescue
one by one
until
she is too tired
to move
The next day
she does the same
repeat
the next day
She can’t stop the rescue mission
because she is the one
drowning
Everyday
The saddest person
is often the most giving
Perhaps that’s the only way
to ease the pain
by focusing on others
Thinking about self
or being in touch with their feelings
is beyond what they can bear
