CONSTANTS

Your life is built on constants
That you carefully nurture
Iconic ideals that obviate life's uncertainties for you
And here I am beside you
The complete opposite
Obvious in my inscrutability
My mother would say he blows hot and blows cold
Perhaps that is the balance
that keeps things interesting

You know you fear boredom above all else
It really would not do for us to be just alike
We would wind up chasing shadows
of our opposite selves
You have to take my word
Whether you believe it or not
I never lie to myself
And when I say I love you
I am speaking to me
