The A-fear

All affairs are fleeting
They satisfy a completely different set of needs
They can fix a broken life and help someone redefine their purpose
They can enhance a core relationship by bringing necessary excitement
They substitute for a while when no long term relationship is welcome
They become that one who enters your world for a reason and a season
In the end, they only fulfill secondary needs and not core business

You nurtured me through the darkest period of my life
I took what I needed from you to survive
We both knew from the beginning that it would be short lived
But we were selfish and cowardly and kept it going long after its time

Leaving you doesn’t mean I stop loving you
It just means that I have to be strong for both of us
Leaving you doesn’t mean that I can forget you
It just means that I am finding a way to survive without you
