icecream

she's been trying
so hard to get
the word love out
of me. she'll say
i love you at the
dinner table, or in
bed after making
love and wait, then
roll her pretty brown
eyes, or are they blue,
and sigh, while
i rapidly blink
my eyes. i give her
like, and yes, i
luv you, i will even
throw in the occasional
i most certainly
adore you and of
course i care about
you, why would we
go out if i didn't,
things like that,
but i struggle
with the L word.
it's so so difficult
to say i love you
to someone, even if
you really mean it,
and yet i have no
trouble with saying
it when it comes
to chocolate chip
mint icecream. i
truly do love a
double scoop of that.
i would marry that
cone, in fact.
