(My Love)

If I made you feel
like just one of several
parentheses
in my life,
I am sorry,
full of remorse, apologies
& change
…
I wish you’d been the book!
…
(perhaps my heart
has been enclosed
these decades past
by your parentheses?)

Might we even yet
Build sentences & paragraphs
Pages & chapters
Live a book
Together?
My Love
