It is difficult when lovers treat each other
like sales agents, mutually asking for a love forecast,
and demanding each other’s commitment.

But the problem with prediction is the future,
not the predilection for unexpected roses,
but love reduced  to a concoction of appearances.

If lovers were businessmen,  non-performance
could be a development issue. Coaching may or may not
save the lovers. And when it doesn’t,

To dismiss need not be abrasive. Give each other dignity,
not insanity. Shake hands and hug each other if you must.
It’s all business. Find someone else who can deliver.
