terms of endearment

as the farm girl
gives a name to the pig,
or cow,
or chicken,
the lamb or goat,
a term of endearment,
falling in love
quickly
as she feeds them,
despite the warning
by her mother,
saying best not
get too close.
do we not do the same
with our new
infatuations, 
being too quick to call
each other 
an endearing name,
perhaps baby, or honey.
or both.
