Framed picture

"Let's get married"
insisted my boyfriend.
"Wait a little more"
always I said.
"But why not now?"
asked he impatiently.
"A painting  in progress 
is our lovetime, 
we can draw, erase, redraw,
change the background 
the way we wish it to be,
I don't want to be a framed picture,
complete and untouchable;
desire for many changes pending"
I said coolly, "let's draw the picture now,
drawing, erasing, redrawing,
changing the background at our will!"
and we're here drawing the picture 
never to be finished ever,
always changing one thing or the other.
