what's wrong, he asks
I don't know
what I want
what I need, I say
I do, he says
what is it, I say
you need someone to care
to help
to love
for you, he says
and it clicks
the pills were substitutes
for the things I never had
but I do now
mars, I ask
yes, he says
do you want to care
and help
and love, I ask
tuesday, that's all I want, he says
•••
I love this
