Lovelorn Poet in London, ENG: Scared

Still Walking by Paul Galbraith

We worry.
We doubt.
But we say them aloud.
We walk through these trepidations together.
The distance we share often centers sounds of the future directly in front of us.
I think we will share our fair portion of terror.
My mother asked me when we were going to see one another.
I smiled and said May.
And I also said you’d come in July.
I said it with a grin.
My mother asked if it was for good.
And my heart lifted at the thought.
My aunt asked if you were my one and only.
My heart said yes and became giddy.
So I said yes.
Yes.

Her Two Cents

We we but we
The I my I and I
My and my my
So yes.
