it's so confusing
when a relationship's warmth
leaves before the heat

i trembled when you held me

*well, it wasn't actually 3, but sometimes one needs to reference Gershwin

forty-five minutes
is a long time to be late
and expect third date*
*you see, he was 45 minutes late both times we went out...and then he told me I was rude when I plead busy to his invitation to a concert the next week. hmm.

Haiku #327 - Happy Valentine's Day!
never be alone
learn to do one simple thing:
be your own best friend
I'd like to expand on the 17 syllables today -
1. simple but not easy
2. relationships are great, but I find it irksome that romantic love is exalted so far above any other kind. And, those relationships are not always perfect or permanent either. I have the love of my family, friends near and far, a most awesome kitty cat, and - most important - a me I've taught to take care of myself, draw boundaries, persevere when things don't go my way, relax - and reach out a friend when I alone am not cutting it. All valuable things, single or no. Hooray for love!
