They love in this way that’s so perfect, but do not love you for who you are. They love you for what poems you can inspire. Hence, we will take each subtle thing you do as a nuance of love.
We will romanticize our lover. We will build them up to be our protector, our soulmate, the half of us we had never found until now- but will find again and again, incarnated into different people. We will have more than one soulmate, we will always be the same writer.

The poet, for example, may force motifs onto the relationship. Note that the other party will never object, it will be another inside joke to them. The sexting will be private, funny even. Mentions of “mourning wood”, if the other party has a decent understanding of French, “le petite mort."

They will never want to end the relationship, saying that their love for each other will be more than the hurt that is inflicted. This is rarely ever true.
