33 - Today, of All Days



Today, let me ask...

Today,
of all the days we have been together,
of all the ways we loved
and occasionally hurt each other,
tell me sincerely all about your life.

Let me ask,
if your days of happiness and joy
outweigh those of sorrow and pain,
if your walks under the sunlight
compensate for the inevitable storms?

... for the “y” in you?

Why
did you speak about love when you did
and why didn’t you stop when you didn’t?
Why did you hush when the going was rough
and why didn’t you enjoy it when the path was easy?

Why
do you keep (little?) secrets from me,
who always knows all about you?
Why don't you, sometimes, trust me,
when I do always stand by you?

The “y” in you:

You
are a permanent riddle,
a riddle so very easily deciphered,
but changed again and again repeated, 
that life with you is the art of never resting...

Your old love,
JSR
