June 2020

There is a public crisis

But personally, not so bad 

A national nightmare

But to me, a pleasant dream

You said to me

However much you think I like you

I like you even more than that

And that is just how I feel

Maybe it’s just the 

Attention, affirmation, affection

But why is it there at my throat

As I notice when you are gone

As I pet our scruffy kitten 

As I listen to you ramble

As I stare back at you in the dark:

I think I am falling in love with you
