That’s a headfuck, pardon my French. Makes you wonder what she means. i.e. perhaps there is no such thing as keeping, or there is but if it’s real then you don’t have to ask. It’s a good poem cos it makes you think
Agreed, I feel as though one shouldn’t have to ask. However, I sometimes ask this, even though I wholeheartedly know the answer is yes. It’s just something I ask to be cute. 😉
I agree with her response. She is not a pet or a discovered keepsake item from an antic shop. Instead, she’s a person — a human being deserving respect and love. What has he done to prove he is worthy of her? A person of interest needs to be invested in. Take time to get to know the one whom your heart desires. Anyone worth having is worth investing in. No commitment without investment.
Of course she is not his, because nobody CAN own anybody like that, even IF they are in love, besides, being “owned” by someone is giving up your own rights, and, who is stupid enough to do that???
No one can belong to another if only to themselves yet there are some who become ‘borrowed’ for a time. When asked – may I keep you? It is expressing a wish aloud and asking consent. No one can truly be kept unless allowed.

Thanks haha. Maybe to her, love is never having to ask for validation.

I jest of course! I really liked this.

Very interesting, love the hint of doubt. It leaves the reader in a question, which begs a thirst for more. Very Good!
