Τwice a year seems reasonable to me
to take care of one's extramarital needs

rise above them
they only grow
so how to deal with the inevitable

I have seen the result of discipline
makes a beast what would just been a whim
always have been one to endorse openness
now I fear some things best not discussed

to be with others
the need to be with others
for just a couple hours
to be with others
the need to be with others

you're the one I choose
the best I ever knew
how to make light of this thing
as to not give it reign
like the rest
doesn't deserve to have power over us
dread to be a couple harboring secrets

we are smart
we can crack the formula
learn to laugh about the occasional fuck
always have been one to endorse openness
now I fear some things best not discussed

to be with others
the need to be with others
for just a couple hours
to be with others
without destroying ours
