You and I

You and I
Never tell each other
How much we mean
To each other…

Of course,
B’days and ’nniversaries
Do not matter
They are but perennial
And pre-emptive …

And we both
Don’t believe in
Mother’s or Father’s Days
Nor endorse
All that Valentine’s do!

Yes, we do bond…
We gel and we revel
When we talk shop
As parents of our kids…

Where?
Where do I fit
In your scheme of things?
I have often
Wondered…

Then… for four nights
As you tossed
And turned and whimpered
In your sleep
I knew…

I knew
I mattered to you
That you are worried
That you cared…

I saw it
In the relief
That coursed through
Your veins, slumping you
Against the cushions…

And in your voice
Thickened with
Controlled emotion…
As you repeated the good news!

And When I found you
Thanking God
For sparing me
I too, prayed to Him
Thanking Him
For giving me, You!
