Verses

The Perfect Lover

Five minutes of your day,
a perfunctory phone call,
a filler when you drive,
a prize you can flaunt

An emotional punching bag
a willing venting board
a nonreactive listener
a nonverbal talker

A vocal supporter of your wild ideas
a silent critic of your bad ones
an unending provider of dough
an unyielding pillar of strength

an expert mind-reader
an imitator of your thoughts
an attention showerer
never an attention seeker

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've questions I will not ask
You have answers you will not give
We used to pretend normalcy
now we normally pretend

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmm!are the words from a man of wisdom!They do answer some of my questions. :) but the answers came late :) . Still, will take a cue and learn in future.i must remember this post. probably i might to refer to it sometime.

and regarding questions and answers,they are part of the game anyways.Afterall, it takes 2 goal posts to make a match interesting.So, play on and dont worry about pretence...u can know enough about each other in pretence.

I wrote these a long time ago and they were in my drafts... it doesn't pertain to any person i know in reality. Just some thoughts put on paper which I experienced mostly indirectly.
