Unconditionally


You made no conditions
but left it all to me –
"You are free to break it up at any time",
that was the one condition of our relationship,
with the understatement from your side
that you would never break it up yourself.
I call that generously liberal for a condition,
and we have never been without each other since that day.
Divorces do not work for us,
not even when we travel separately far apart,
and nothing has brought us more close together
than when we were separated by our journeys.
Psychopathic spiritual obsession with each other
as a constant substitute for marriage?
Call it rather friendship and a natural relationship
that not even nature can dissolve,
since nature brought it on uniting us.

To be granted an open-ended guilt-free exit is to either rather quickly use it or to never want to. You have obviously chosen wisely.

We tend to want to file relationships into neat little categories, but many of the best relationships defy categorization and are merely meant to be. The bonds never dissolve.

Freedom granted and respect subtly demanded. What a wonderful underpinning for a relationship!

Thanks Christian
