Seems that way sometimes, doesn't it? I can certainly empathize with this. Being ready for a deeper relationship with another person, but then finding I'm not what they wanted. It's hard, but ot happens. I don't find I am unhappy either. I'm fine with just me, and maybe that seems unsteady to others who seem programmed to just pair up and can't find happiness unless its with another person. I think you wait until you find someone worth risking everything for rather than submitting to the ordinary. That's what I get from this anyway. Thanks! Great work

this is actually an amazing interpretation! Thank you for taking the time to share it :)

or, maybe those the speaker interacts with are the unsteady ones...moody people can love you one day and dispel you the next.

I do understand the poetry. I am the same way. Needing more or needed less. You said enough in the poem. Thank you Leviari for sharing the amazing poetry.

A very matter-of-fact piece expressing the very relatable dilemma. A good piece.
