Short Term Loan

I'm not very good at relationships
I'm better at love affairs
and six month stands.
I don't seem to have the stamina
for the long term.
I can't maintain
an interest level
in the day to day.
But give me a secret rendezvous,
a furtive look,
a discreetly passed note
and I'm in...
for the short haul at least.
I would much rather have
six months of flaming passion
than six years of
comfortable companionship.
I love the discovery,
the surprises, the freshness.
I can't give you forever,
But I can probably love you
better in six months
than anyone else could
in six lifetimes.
