Backing Away From Being Intense: Romantic ConTEXTing Limericks

I get it; I’m not a dope./
I’d just gone overboard with hope./
I’ll back away from being intense./
I don’t want appear 2 dense./
And absence can always help 1 cope.

Alternative Limerick
I get it; I’m not a dope./
I’d just gone overboard with hope./
My mistake./
I’ll give you a break./
And absence can always help 1 cope.
