KEEP THE DISTANCE

 KEEP THE DISTANCE:

It doesn't work

Nothing works with people

Neither love nor kindness

Nor fondness...

I tried

What works is,  cold,  polite,  un-involved distance

Keep a polite distance

That perhaps is the only thing which might work

But no surity of that either

No fighting

No, no fighting

No arguments either

No confrontations

No disagreements

Just agree

And then,

Make an excuse

And leave...

We are so lonely that we want to call

Every one we meet in the street, "A friend."

They are not friends

They are acquaintances

Not friends...

We want them to be friends

But that's not the case

"Friend" is just an odd name given to them

Because of necessity...

So you need to know that you have no

Friendly possession of them...

Or rather, friendly affection for them...

So have no expectations

Expect no long lasting relationship with them...

Just polite, "Hello", "Hello"

Some fake pleasantness...

Some fake smiles...

Keep the distance

It will help you with that fake smile

Actually distance is the source of that fake smile...

It creates the smile...

Distance really works...

That's the only thing which works

It works in health and illness

Keep the social distance...

Necessary

Really necessary...

KEEP THE DISTANCE
