insanity
i almost
mutter the words,
i love you.
but i somehow choke them
back and give
a fake cough.
what, she says. what?
did you say something?
something in my
throat, i tell her.
had some almonds earlier.
you know how
they stick to the back
of your throat sometimes?
no, she says.
you said something, i
heard you clearly.
did you say that you love me?
i look at her, the almond
story suddenly
behind me.
maybe, i tell her. maybe.
well. it's about time,
she says,
after ten years of
being together,
and at last i hear those words.
