He’d always been told
(by who?)
the pursuit is more gratifying
than the capture or
(more simplified)
that getting is better
than having and this
(he found)
was accurate because
as difficult as it was
(had been)
to earn her attention
keeping her affection was
(at times)
a clock’s tick
away from torturous
