The Fairly Passionate Shepherd to His Love
by George Bilgere

Come live with me and be my unconditional love.
My feelings for you are unconditional.

The way I felt about those women in the past—
even Jill Davis—those feelings were conditional,
obviously. Otherwise, things would have worked out;
I’d still be with them, or at least one of them, right?

The condition with Jill was “let’s get married.”
I could overlook that for a while,
but in the long run it was a deal breaker.

Another woman—Kate—well, for about a year
it was unconditional. No strings attached.
Unconditional love like that is beautiful.

But it turned out there were a couple of conditions,
such as, “You need to get a job.” Like working
on my novel wasn’t “work.” And she did this thing,
this little clicking sound with her tongue
whenever I did something she didn’t approve of,
which was often. This became a condition.

But after a careful appraisal of my feelings for you
I can honestly say that at the present moment
I see no problematic or inhibiting conditions whatsoever.

All indicators point toward a positive outcome,
and therefore I am quite comfortable in advising you
to come live with me and be my unconditional love.
