Uncertainty.

In the dangers of love, one must be allowed 
To posses "what if" and 'get out' clauses
Just in case one of you messes
And none of you apologizes.

So imagine how deep it has gone
For two proud souls to have the wherewithal to bend their knees
Stretch back and bend their backs
Take the fall and lose their stand
Just to get a footing and feeling of the other
Keeping in mind the gloating that's inevitable from the partner...
You wonder...
