It remains empty unless you put in
more than you take out.

all night thinking about something you said;

To keep the fire burning brightly,
keep the two logs together,
near enough to keep each other warm,
and far enough apart - about a finger's breadth -
for breathing room.
Good fire, good marriage - same rule.

always with the same person.

and passionate embraces;
Marriage is also three meals a day
and remembering to carry out the trash.

merely through finding the right mate,
but through being the right mate.
