Truth Serum

Desperation mixed with abandonment anxiety

is an elixir whose side effects may include:

impulsivity and

subsequent loneliness.

Yet so many of us take the potion.

Rushing into feelings followed by a cloud of worry

saying that all too soon the person 

we have them for will dissipate. 

Time is an illusion 

especially if you hesitate.

Spend too much of it drowning in the woes of indecision

and your reluctance will soon decide your fate.

Sure, it's a lot easier to say "I want to fuck you" than

it is to say "I want to love you" but 

I think most of us would be a lot happier

if we tried, anyway.
