Being is believing

Being is believing

Being is believing

I believe in you.
I believe in you
being close to me.
I believe in you being close to me
intimately.
I believe in you being close to me
intimately, regularly.
I believe in you being close to me
intimately, regularly
just not today.
I believe in you being close to me
intimately, regularly
just not today
because sometimes
I need to be with myself alone
all the better to be with you
more intimately.
