she:he.

she:he.

she hopes not to appear
       too needy.
he hopes not to appear
       too often.

a question begins to arise.
a fear is formulated.

we’d all like to
imagine ourselves islands,
protect our fragile
sense of self,
and maintain some
type of space
and individuality.

a question begins to arise.
a fear is formulated.

he hopes to learn to let go.
she hopes he won’t let her go.

    • Well, in a way I guess it is about internal conflicts, but more about conflicts that occur when starting a relationship with someone. The poem was really about where I was at about being in a relationship before meeting my wife.
