My body loves me

It wants to be with me all the time

Sure, sometimes I have felt this is inconvenient

Crowding
Clingy
Smothering

Over time, however, I have matured

My understanding of a mate's needs
has grown

All relationships require what, at first blush, appears to be compromise
(some say "Give and Take")

I've learned to regard the process as
adjustment

A way of peaceful coexistence

To be clear- there will always be
times when I want to do something
and my body is reluctant

('I want to stay up all night-
it wants to sleep' is an example)

That is simply the
warp and weft
of any realistic relationship


All successful romantics
know this
