to Begin Today Everyday
What did I mean then?
Mmhmmm hmm..can you believe it, love? How it might have been about 6 maybe 7 years ago when you had sat across from her(u) and she(u) had had ordered fries with mentaiko to share.
A final meal to signify no longer being friends.
..
And so, what had we meant? On our random bingo? To ‘begin today everyday’?
To live out her(u) grand request to live out a good life; to smile anyway? To not have let the genius therapist been why we lose our way? To know that I have been loved even when we had to part ways?
To know that even when goodbyes have been so few and yet aplenty for the past few and yet again so very seemingly many years since, here you are – here we are – crying over how much we’ve grown.
Because, my dear?
My darling love?
Yes?
Do you realise? Can you see? How she(u)’s no longer our only love? How even you no longer need the genius therapist? How – yes – we still have our days of sad and yet never despair. How we can be both anxious and afraid and still dinner make. How we can keep to cycling on an exercise bicycle and remember to farm some on a game and most of all, my love? Do you not? Can you not? Will we please?
