He says he wants to remain a Recluse May be work stress and time constraints are the real Reasons.
Or may be, he wants to use these as an Alibi or an Excuse for staying away - and warding me off his Life.
Whatever may be the Reason or Excuse for his wanting to remain a Recluse. Nice Formalities we exchange in this Relationship of Formalities.
Hi, Hullo, Take Care, Bye How Informal can it all be - Greetings and Pleasantries of Thanks and Welcome as if we are striving to be Courteous and Polite all the way.
Being Frank and Outspoken doesn't really help - in this Formal Friendship.
Should not speak one's Mind Keep clutching our hearts lest we commit the age old adulterous mistake of giving in to Impropriety.
Let us be Moral, Ethical, Judicious and Justified. In this Society of Thinkers and Doers.
Lest these Thinking and Doing People in the name of Social Reform accuse us of Blasphemy. B'cos they Seem to be the Judges of what is Right and what is Wrong.
So let's listen to their dictates and silence our yearnings B'cos we live for them and they exist to tell us how do we make our lives worth living.
Yes, we need to restrain and limit ourselves - and bury those feelings in our bodies Acting as Robots to their Rules So much so for social respectability.
And of course, zeroing on to him I guess he is telling me the truth of his wanting to be a Recluse and the reasons are Real not just an Excuse.
Though even if he fibs and lies How am I supposed to know? You see, I am No God. Yes, he does ask me to trust him at face value - take his words to be the ultimate truth.
Well, I do or I do not Does it really matter? If one loves, love shall he be there trust or treachery.
For me, love is forever... and a Beloved is for life.
