Your love blindsided me from the start.
You’ve got it down pat, like an art.
Here I am again, surprised.
This time, by my demise.
Sucker punched, gut shot.
I’m on the ropes.
Count it down,
ten, nine…
out!

The Grace of Reciprocity
The only unspoken understanding now is this: if you ignore me, I absolutely won't bother you. This isn't about being competitive or indifferent; it's about acknowledging the most basic truth of adulthood: relationships must be mutual, not sustained by stubbornness.
