My lady, please don’t go.
I offer you protection and love,
being rooted in stability.
Let me envelop you in my wings
and ground you to me.
I can’t, Sir.
Another life demands my attention.
Being sheltered isn’t what I need
nor want.
Freedom beckons me, so I must go.
I Write Her 
I really like one! Freedom moves beyond shelter!

A very realistic conflict between limitations and love for freedom. This could apply to a parent-child or mentor-mentee relationship, other than lovers.
