He was a lonely house back when she knew him,
But she saw that he liked it best that way;
Upright and strong, but distant from all conflict,
And neatly trim, removed from disarray
A man within his structured safety zone
Who she then might have loved
But left
Alone
To share is human:
It makes me think of a person with some form of autism –loving and loved in an uncommon way.
That’s interesting. I like that reading very much.
