I think one of the reasons

I couldn’t do this again with E is because of how hard it was with A
Yet there are also so many other different things
E so kind and understanding
Our communication soft and clear
Not twisted and barbed and misunderstood

Last night listing the reasons she would want to stay with her boyfriend
Marina says to you
I can hear that it’s insufficient
And later
I just don’t know if we have what it takes to be each others partners

These truths we understand but do not want to
that we hope to mold like clay in our hands
into something new

(Who can blame us?)
