Making Concessions

i have to make concessions
but the idea is making me jumpy.

he says,
“it is beyond your wildest dreams.”
well, i’m still having some trouble with that.
but when will we learn?

why do we fall into this trap?
well, you never know.

he says,
“it is so awesome this thing we have”
well, it’s significant to have goals.
we ought to establish a relationship.

you just have to sit down and do this.
there’s a lot at stake

he says,
“that doesn’t play a part. i need more time.”
well, it’s a qualified choice.
my love is a valuable commodity.

i say,
“you may not as of now know the things that i know.
you think you should buy love on impulse.
sorry, but i won’t make that concession.”
