I'm beginning to think

of human relationships

in terms of

banking services.

When I was first attracted to you,

be it physically,

emotionally,

spiritually,

intellectually,

you've placed a large credit

of love dollars

in my heart.

Through the years,

with the things you say

and the things you do,

each time,

the large credit of love dollars

gets withdrawn.

Sometimes,

with the things you say

and the things you do,

the withdrawal of love credit

gets replenished

with more love dollars.

But as human relationship

generally drifts,

the withdrawal of love dollars

outpaces the deposits,

until it its ZERO.

Beyond ZERO,

I start to HATE you.

If we've been through long enough,

like banking relationships,

I'd extend emergency credit,

and allow you to go

into the red.

But once the credit limit is up,

I cease

and desist,

and proceed with

FORECLOSURE.

And then again,

even if the credit balance

is healthy,

people do switch accounts

to another bank,

offering better services.
