The dependence of independence and vice versa



Sorry, love, I can not do without you.
I was born a free man and an even freer spirit,
and I always cherished and kept safe my independence,
many girls refused me since I was too independent,
but then there was you, an equally nomadic independent spirit
living, as it seemed, on just her independence,
free and totally emancipated as a feminist,
and neither of us wanted ever to fall prey to thralldom,
not in any way, and least of all in some traumatic sado-masochistic bondage.
Still we need each other, but as independently dependent on our co-dependence,
freedom is the guarantee of our souls to never become subject to another,
so we can be co-dependently dependent on each other only as completely independent,
if you see my meaning, which is rather simple and not difficult at all.
And that is maybe the right key to every happy and successful couple and relationship:
that they remain completely independent as dependent on each other.

Neat elaboration on the psycho-logical contradictoriness of relationships, even--or especially?!--the relatively successful ones.
