To Be With Others

Twice a year seems reasonable to me
To take care of one’s extramarital needs

Rise above them
They only grow
So how to deal
With the inevitable

I have seen the result of discipline
Makes a beast what would just been a whim
Always have been one to endorse openness
Now I fear some things best not discussed

To be with others
The need to be with others
For just a couple hours
To be with others
The need to be with others

You’re the one I choose
The best I ever knew
How to make light of this thing
As to not give it reign
Like the rest
Doesn’t deserve to have power over us
Dread to be a couple harboring secrets

We are smart
We can crack the formula
Learn to laugh about the occasional fuck
Always have been one to endorse openness
Now I fear some things best not discussed

To be with others
The need to be with others
For just a couple hours
To be with others
Without destroying ours
