why don’t we sit back and watch ourselves?
every fervent kiss; the care behind each touch;
the truth behind every lie, just under the tongue rather then on the tip.
we won’t speak of it. the fact that there is just a little bit of commitment behind the no strings attached policy of love.

you see, love is easy.
don’t deny it. let me explain.
love is easy, relationships are hard. commitment is hard.
the ties that bind… they instill the fear that causes all of the problem.
no. love is the easiest thing we can ever come across.

and when we really feel it, the love,
our bodies, our instinct, everything in us wants all of it.
every corner and crevis that love hides in.
one can only gain all that love from commitment.
even the most casual of sexual behavior is laced with commitment.
love always carries strings simply because it is our need.
to feel emotional pulls from other beings, the tight pull of our organs.
that’s why we feel it when our heartbreaks.

next time you believe that you there is no commitment,
no love, just fun; no real ties to the reality of sex and hunger.
look at your hands, the ones aching to touch one another.
look at how your fingertips shake with the thought, how your heart races.
look at yourself. you need this, you have developed a commitment in that short moment. even if you have only known them for five minutes, your body is committed to that person, within that moment, in that place.

it’s beautiful.
just look for the strings. the ones that attach you to the people around you.
the strings that are controlled by sex drive and lust.
but also the strings that are connected to your heart, the ones controlled by love.

everything.
everything has commitment my dear.
we need it to survive. it helps keep love thriving.
