The Opposite of Foreverness

by Ame Ai

We have a good mental rapport
and conditional affection.
We are not attached,
but we are compassionate.

Ours is an impulsive one-night stand
or a free event
extended by a month.

Ours is a Mercury
retrograde rebound relationship.

You are like a friend with benefits,
but we are monogamous and uncommitted.

You are adorably needy.
You need free sex now.
I come and go for the intellectual equality.

We do not waste food,
and it is not true that we waste time.
You have plenty now and some later.
I have some now,
and plenty later
for someone else.

You are a stepping stone,
a good luck charm for me,
a way to keep my vibration up
to attract the real thing,
and you're okay with that.

I am a test.
I make you feel manly and challenge you
as a conflict resolution and language study buddy,
and I'm okay with that,
for now.

I don't love you,
and I know you don't love me,
but I have been in sexual relationships
without as much superficial spiritual indifference.

Ours is better than my longest relationship,
even if I'll know you the shortest amount of time.

You'll stay
as long as I want,
and we can negotiate.
I control the end, and the end will come
when I realize this doesn't serve my long-term aims,
when I have a scheduled appointment with destiny.

That is okay, even if we don't stay in touch.
I am beautiful
and okay.
You are fascinating
and okay.
Okay?

Oh wow this is just full of great stuff; conditional affection, that's the hook for me. a free event extended...conflict resolution and language study buddy! Can this arrangement(?) even exist? no matter the description is the spot on stuff of old dreams.
