which direction are you going

what exactly are you looking for

my dear,

my therapist

says.

she calls me dear now, a strange

thing,

but i accept her closeness

with a warm smile.

what do you want?

what's next?

do you really want a relationship

at this point

in your life.

what about sex?

what about living with someone,

or just weekends,

or something long

distance,

someone in another city?

do you really want to be in love,

or is friendship okay?

the occasional fling, the friend

with benefits,

forget the ring?

i know you need trust

and real, someone you can

talk too, someone loyal and

true,

someone like, but unlike you.

spiritual and down to earth,

because, well, as you often

say, you live on earth.

is it still donna reed with a whip

you're searching for?

or just someone different,

genuine and kind.

someone with a true heart,

a stable mind?

think on these things, do

your homework and the next session

we'll talk

and figure out which

direction you're going. north

east west or south.
