Ties That Don’t Bind

It would be easier for you
To think of each other kindly,
Remember each other fondly,

If you never had to work well
With each other ever again.
The strain of your interactions

Makes it difficult to be kind,
Cheerful, happy to be chatting.
The most underrated virtue

Is the ability to be shallow,
To touch socially so lightly
Your link feels faintly magnetic,

A little click while conversing,
Easily released, quickly
Felt again in proximity,

A gentle attraction. Let go
Of each other without asking
For more than to meet once again.
