love songs on the radio

do strange things to me
sometimes
I turn it off, switch channels
other times I let it linger in the air
I remember moments between us 
like far off memories 
faded but sweet
and I recall
how it used to be
how I'd love you more each passing day 
and how I'd look forward to growing old with you
now I don't know
this year has taken its toll
and it remains to be seen
what time will do
it helps a great deal 
to see you as a house guest
puts things in perspective 
manages expectations 

love
what is this thing actually 
even with children 
it's unconditional 
ha
meaning cannot expect to be loved back
a one way street
with every act an event to be greeted with surprise
okay. 
that is okay. 

he called me meena today on WhatsApp
felt so strange
he never calls me by name
ah well 
guess becoming a stranger is a two way street 
that's ok
