@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; The Poet, Vergil, Loved A Juvenescent
You know he sees, and will see, other lovers:
this is a fact someone your age discovers
about young men his age: more than annoyance,
it comes with loving juvenescent buoyance.
But if you love him well, you must forebear
to criticize, complain, deplore or quiz
him to account, or else explain, all his
encounters' amorous activity.
Accept this as a hard reality
you can never adjust, alter, or change;
for that would likely distance or estrange
him: he would take it as crass jealousy,
rejecting you more quidkly than a dare.
Accept your time with him for what it is.
Starward
