CHEMISTRY AT WORK

I love her but
we're an unstable compound
liable to go off
at any minute
though sometimes we're
as smooth as glass.
I've learned to
approach cautiously
look for signs
and leave in time
even if things are
good-especially when
things are good.
That's how we are
and that's what I've
learned to do and it's
why we're still together.
I wish love could do
it all but that's not
what I'm going to get:
we're bound by love
but bonded by respect.
