A belated Congrats on POD, Nikki! Very well deserved. A very chilling last stanza. Throughout my life, mine intuitive self had always felt loving relationships coming to an end. And like yourself, I had to prepare myself for the balancing act.
So rich and deep yet simple. Says so much in the most enchanting, far reaching and delicate human way! Loved this.

(as a reaction to a feeling) to balance the pleasure of loneliness against the pain of loving you.........yes; excellent poem shared......pleasure to read this poem.....To balance the happiness, pleasure, satisfaction in this earthly life is depending on the self mind; self-pleasure-happiness-satisfaction can balance all together
Pleasure against pain to be balanced perfectly, well scripted 10++
Yes, life is all about balancing. 'the pleasure of loneliness against the pain of loving you' - best three lines of an otherwise dull poem. I agree to Luis Estable's comment entirely.
A very discerning poem so beautifully expressed. Timeless!
