1116. Guy's versus Girl's Advice

My guy friend said,
If you live far apart
And your heart
Tells you to move closer
And you suggest it,
He should totally
Support
The idea
Of moving forward.
He should say
How can
I help you.
He should put
All his resources
Together
For both of you
To live at his place
And also help you
Find work in his town.
But if he pushes back,
That's a big red flag.
First,
Pitch the idea,
And see what happens.
Girl friends say,
Beware.
Too many women
Have moved
Round the world
To find their guy
Had another woman
On the side
All the time.

I suspected
You and your family
Thought I wasn't

Who knows
What the result
Would have been
If we had
Married then.
Perhaps now
We wouldn't
Like or love
Each other.
We'd just have
Smothered
One another
And had
A few kids
When we were
Younger.
Perhaps all that
Loneliness and pain
Plus experimentation
Was preordained,
So we could
See and appreciate
Each other
Now.

Your parents knew
We were too
Young
To marry

And had each other
To love
All this time
If we had chosen
To stay
Together.

Where is your cat?
You asked.

A knowing look
In your eyes.
Our romantic history
Has been both great

She didn't
Stand her ground
And hiss
At both of us
As she could
Have done
If she felt it was
In everyone's
Best interest.

Ex-fiance
You swept me
Off my feet
For 2 days
En route
From Paris
To Argentina.
You said
In passing
3 or 4 times
After 5 bottles

That I should come
Join you.

You

To give and receive
All the love we have
Faithfully,
Eternally.

1083. Carving a New Love

You wonder how
I moved
On so quickly.
I loved you most
The first time.
But each breakup
Whittled away my
Heart.
By the end,
There was
Nothing left
Where
It should have
Been.
To survive
Day to day,
I tore out
The remaining
pain.
I had no weight
To slow down
My forward
Progress
Till my heart
Could grow again.
That's why
I said
We need
A brand new beginning
Just starting by getting
To know each other
As if initially
To see if we can
Create a new and better
More lasting
Love together.

At the Utah
Tonight -
With a great beat
Playing
A homemade
Electric shovel
And exceeding

A little like

And a new sound
Never before heard.
