Why would you want to hurt me? Not that I can't take it.

Life is sad. Its a struggle. War. Perpetual war it seems. A war between men & women, women & women, men & men. A war within the self. Factions. Schisms. Fragmentation. Desolation.

But there's also peace. And Joy. And ultimately rest. And in between if we're lucky there's Love.

Don't turn away from me. Don't shut me out. Don't shut yourself off.

You can't always perform your way out of intimacy. Connecting to another takes courage.

And please never tell me I'm not in love with you. Because you'd be  very wrong. 

So...Its good that I go away for a little while. With a little something of yours to take along with me.
