Proprieties of a love affair

Let me free us
from the proprieties
of a love affair.
Let me liberate you
from the tyranny
of wishing me
each morning
and kissing me
each night,
virtually.

Let me release you
from having to reply
to every message I send.
Let not the heavy chains
of three simple words
bind us down.

Let us roam free
in the terrain
we have created.
Let us not toe the line
of what ought to be.
Let’s be, let’s breathe
free, then we will stay
a bit longer maybe
In my longing
for you,
in your desire
for me.
