Today
One year ago
You told me how we could be together
You & I
It was fairly simple
Till we each
Find that perfect partner
More willing
To share our lives
Yes, till that time,
You said
When she changes her mind
And when I find that someone special
You said we could
Be together
You & I
My refusal
To be this
Stop-gap measure
For pleasure
Shook you up
I cried all night
You said you were sorry
The next morning
And I forgave you
Not quite understanding how I could

unfortunately it never happened with such an initial understanding – wish it did – then I could go on the initial premise.

yeah,
being wise after the event – possible;
seeing from a distance the hole your friend is digging for themselves: easy;
seeing what’s going on in one’s own life right as it’s happening: impossible (all too often, at least)

For me this details in a very special way the complication of relationships, the further we engage ourselves the more we realise how much there is to learn about how we link to those we care for and how we can,as in this example, forgive as if we were watching somebody else forgiving a stranger.

Am I getting this right, Sashi?: a young woman meets a guy who says – ‘if you like, we could be together until I find the person I REALLY want to be with.’
The young woman chooses to be with the man, believing that the intensity of her feelings for him will change his attitude, so that SHE will become the special one he is waiting for.
For me, what has to be faced is the initial premise: the attraction to and for someone who says ‘look, you’re not who I really want.’
Ultimately, at least among adults, on some level there are no victims on this Earth, only perpetrators – that’s what I believe.
