Can He Avoid

When a couple becomes exclusive. The man must then become less intrusive. He must refrain from doing things, that increase the numbers on her worry scale. Things that would surely make her pale. Easy ones, putting the toilet seat down, brushing teeth before bed. Aren't the ones that will stay in her head. He mustn't stray from their own bed, However great the temptation, Like a bull, she will see red. He must stay in, not go out. He must choose to whisper, rather then shout. He must show her not with words, but actions what he's now about. Where he is going to get the help needed, to reach such lofty goals, not just in the hood, and when new, but as long as they are together, changing her view. What could be strong enough, in all of Nature, to help forge such a change in behavior? Surely he can't do it on his own. There is only one thing I know for sure, that's if he's become connected with something above, white and pure. But what of her, she must also be capable, to forgive the fights waged, between Cain and Able. Looking and Finding something in her heart, to give their spirits a second chance, to want again to sing and dance. After he used her once, can he avoid being a second time dunce?
