Something I Wrote Two Years Ago

When is it love and when is it great sex?
When is it great sex and when is it need?
When is it need and when is it neediness?
When is it neediness and when is it companionship?
When is it companionship and when is it commonality?
When is it commonality and when is it fun?
When is it fun and when is it comfort?
When is it comfort and when is it settling?
When is it settling and when is it reality?
When is it reality and when does it just relax into
What it is….
….which is maybe all of the above.
When does all of that doubt become okay?
When do those questions become silly?
When does a relationship, with all its complications and problems, become fulfilling?
When is it the rest of your life and you know it, no matter what?

Maybe it’s when you’re willing to take the when is it love and when is it great sex and all the above
….and take the risk, no matter what.
Maybe it’s a bus ride,
maybe it’s a roller coaster,
maybe it’s a day at the lake,
maybe it’s the rest of your life.
