not the only ones

I dunno

I talk to sham and find she is harboring dark thoughts all-out marriage 

I talk to nalla and she too is sad, unable to talk to him living so restricted a life

for me 

you know

I love him 

he is making an effort 

I should reciprocate 

I'm happy he thought of asking me to dinner

just that I had already made plans 

and I needed him to be home with the kids 

one is down

the other bogged down

how could we have gone

but I like the thought 

and perhaps next week we can

this sat I must go out early to buy that bread for my baby
