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
