The Contradictory of Passion

“Borderless” from Hello, Beautiful World Collection by James R. Eads

I want spontaneity
I want spending 3 days straight with only each other sometimes
I want the complexity
I want the spam texts without second guesses
I want the blurting of deep feelings
I want the extensive understanding
I want the reliability
I want the uncommon kindness
I want the passion.

I don’t want the impulsive decisions
I don’t want the reckless choices
I don’t want the heated arguments
I don’t want anger
I don’t want jealousy
I don’t want the secluding existential crises
I don’t want the inconsistency
I don’t want the passion.


Is one possible without the other?
