Erosion of Love
Do you remember that time when just loving each other was the right fit:
Respect, honesty and mutual agreement made the relationship fully legit.
Now-a-days, relationships are of different types and ways of getting knit;
Monogamy died, producing Open, Complicated, and Friends with benefit.
Desires yearning more for sex, fun, and frolic – not mindful of commitment;
Relationships no longer based on mutual love, but on making a public statement.
Why have proper morals, values and principles of proper courtship depleted?
Is it because respect, honesty and love; selfishness has completely defeated?
Food for thought, a delicate matter on which to ponder; analytically wonder;
Since when was a person’s heart something to be uncaringly cast asunder?
We must! We must return to mutual respect, honesty and love in relationships;
It is still mutually beneficial before marriage to have friendships, then courtships.
It is still awesome to get to know, understand and appreciate your partner;
To be aware of tendencies and find grounds of compromise; in every matter.
It’s still important to be satisfied by your partner, and the ‘issue’ is not about sex;
To hold your peace and tactfully find amicable solutions, even when one is vex.
It’s still thoughtful to know the morals and value on which your partner stands;
Their dreams, and desires and on which part of your life they will make demands.
Simple tit-bits that many courting couples have regrettably taken for granted;
Their relevance is crucial to good relationships, and should not be discounted.
So listen to me, ladies and gentlemen this advice is truthful and fully sound;
Akin to a productively fruitful tree securely planted, in nutritious ground.
