Love

I said “gimme some” when I was 7

And you looked at me with angry eyes

I said “give me some please” when I was twelve

And you looked at me with curious eyes

I asked “would you please give me some” when I was 22

And you looked at me with appeasing eyes

“I guess I understand what you’re asking for”

I asked “can we share some” when I was 25

And you looked at me with apologetic eyes

“Of course we will, I understand”

I said “I’ll give you some” when I was 27

And you looked at me with grateful eyes

“thank you”

And together we smiled.
