It Was Purely A Cerebral Affair

                                          

   We met through mutual friends

           Damn them all to hell

    It didn't start off kind of crazy

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

              Nobody lost it

                 There were no surprises 

                   No baggage carousels
 Things never seemed to get out of hand

                    
       No difficult situations

                      The drunk texts were never sent 

                                       From or to either

No clashes                                                                                            over                                                                                                            imaginary                                                                                                                                                                                slights                                                                                                                                                                                                         

                                Enough time apart to suit

                                             Not one single 
                                                  argument

                                           Not even mild debate

                            Just intelligent discussions

                 And long evenings of quiet bliss

Never felt smothered

                    No-one turned the other's life
                                  upside down

                                                                   
                  All friends 
                        were                                                                                                                                    

                   Accepted                                                                                                                                                                                                           All others rejected

                       This one, this one relationship

                                                                       was not volatile

                                    Which is not to say

It wasn't incredibly passionate  

                                                                  But still...
