"untitled" - A life in poems

7.

I really was expecting

That question

You,

My sweet boy,

Had been fidgeting all day

When you came to

Hang out

We played monopoly and

You won by a

Long shot

Looking back on it

Now,

I don't know how

I managed to miss all

These signs that

You cared for me

That afternoon

Around 3

My mother drove you home and

I rode in the back

With you

There was a double rainbow

Up and across the sky

My mother wanted a picture so

We stopped the car

In the backseat

After photos

You asked me to be yours and

I said

"About time"

My mother laughed

You do really

Truly

Mean the world to me.
