Too Much
Can anyone give too much to another,
is there a limit on the amount?
When do you begin to smother
is there a line that’s paramount?
Has there ever been to much of any one thing
that two lovers can feel and share?
The joy in the act of give and take,
showing up with ultimate care.
Can to much love hinder ones growth,
deter a path that one must travel?
Can relationships have too much involvement,
making ones goals start to unravel?
Air and water is needed
in amounts that can’t be measured.
To be with each other as much as one can
experiences shared, remembered then treasured.
No one knows their life span
or how time will be numbered.
Who knows the length of days?
The seasons pass encumbered.
Each day that is lost just a flash of ones life
is time wasted, forever and gone.
When they could have given too much to each other
those two lovers, baby and ron.

Raskin,
There is a fine line between healthy close interpersonal relationships and infatuation. All things need space to grow plants, animals and humans. Finding that gentle balance is hard and is easily dismissed as a nonessential ingredient for a successful union.
Thanks for reading and commenting

thanks
ron for clearing it up for me. In that light I see the gentle balance you were going for in this. It isn't easy especially if one person has a strong personality, it can be hard for the person with the gentle personality but also for the stronger personality to not crush the other person. Yes I think you expressed this well. raskin

very nice it is hard to find
very nice it is hard to find that fine line sometimes, there is a saying that you should never give everything to a person 'cause when theyre gone youre left with nothing, but then again whats true love if your not all in it?

the scales of give and take always seem to find balance one way or another...
