very sincerely, me

there were lots o’ reasons today, actually…

but especially at the very end of it…when him and me were finally all tucked into our bed…

with me turned in close and one-eye-peaking over his shoulder at the book he was reading a bit before sleep…

and after interrupting…maybe more than the once…i inquired who’d authored his book…

and then…again…i observed, “he likes hyphens…”

to which…his eyes never leaving the page…he casually replied, “almost as much as you like your ellipsis…”

and then i quickly argued something about how i just write the same way that i talk!  that i’m just never done talking…or thinking…

and he countered…just as swiftly…that “yes”, i never do seem to run out of words…

and that sometimes…

all he hears is, “…”!

and that made me smile…and laugh…a lot!

confessing to my honey at the end of this day…“i don’t have a monday’s reason…”

me ashamed to admit…not even one…

and him encouraging, “yes, you do…”

and then to my challenging “yeah?”…

his simple “look around you”…

and…oh, yes…

i did it again! 

i forgot…

and how is that always so easy for me to do?
