Commitment

You are like an elusive butterfly

Flitting from flower to flower

You have trouble staying in one place

For any length of time

But it is necessary in order

To grow roots

To have a family

To be blessed with happiness

Could you be willing to give up your freedom

To settle in and settle down?

Or would the pressures of living with a family

Drag you down to an uncomfortable state of being

And ruin the wonderful light I see in your eyes

I love you too much to ask that of you

It will have to be your decision

Until that time, I will wait ....
