We date for a while. Then you don’t return phone calls. After a few weeks you pop up again and we look like a couple for a few weeks. But you always disappear again. A little at a time you’re tearing my heart up. Do you realize what you’re doing to me? D.W.

I feel I’ve needed you
since the beginning of time
on my way to wisdom I ask,
will you ever be mine?
