…
i’m trying to understand.
really i am.
i’m not being bull-headed or
obstinate or
stubborn or
obtuse.
i’m not trying to pick a fight
or looking for trouble
or intending to get on someone’s
last nerve.
but still…
i’m not sure
what she wants of me.
what does she expect?
we’ve been together
so long now, you’d
think i’d know.
that i’d be able to read the
signs
or see some
tell-tale
hints of what is
REALLY going on.
so i would know how to
proceed.
what path to take.
which direction is
safe.
but in the end
it’s just as uncertain as
in the beginning.
