Attraction and interest: enveloping attention

This is the most delicious whiskey, the most delicate gin and aromatic rum - the attraction and interest of a person to a person. Wrapped in each other's attention, people give a part of themselves to another, which makes this person more valuable, dearer, more pleasant, more dear. Hundreds of common topics, places, cases and jokes appear. The stupefying lightness does not allow you to think about anything else, only about spending time together.

And she presses herself against him as hard as she can, propping her nose on his collarbone.
An unimaginable warmth will spread in your chest,
Repeats to herself, "don't fall in love with him."
He touches his forehead with his lips, and then it's all the same.
He doesn't know her enough to understand the bottom line,
He likes the fact that it's lightweight.
He's so anxious at times and he's lonely, he can't find the words.
And she just sees him - immediately into laughter, immediately into dancing, into stories about music and girlfriends, she is happy for his every success, happy in a way that no one else around.
She knows he can't be held forever,
Can't sew it on, can't be carried away for long,
And then she would suffer again, avoiding ridiculous phrases and chance encounters.
But now he's here, her hand is clutching his hand, the world is a hundred units more beautiful and kinder. And no one knows for sure,
Whichever one burns out the fastest.

What, when and most importantly, for what reason happens afterwards? Why is the first week of meetings different from what it will be six months later? Isn't it because of that desire to give, which enveloped you so affectionately at the very beginning? © "Loved, taken care of," as one of Ivan Niko's poems says, is an indirect but still probable reason when the appetite gets stronger and the "food" is no longer so caloric after weeks, months, years.

Maybe the time comes to "return the favor" and you demand care, affection, warmth, tenderness, attention... quickly turning into a consumer who doesn't get enough? That's when the counting, recounting and comparisons begin. That's it! If it has come to this point, the outcome and finale are unambiguous.

I guess that's why "don't fall in love with him" is a golden mean that's great for both.
