Put a D After Love

When you say "I love you",

put a d after love.

because in that D, we might just find

perhaps the only truth

in those three little words.



It's not anymore a matter of

what I was

or what you were

or even what we weren't.



The only thing that matters, really,

is that we both get through this

as YOU

and as ME.

Stop looking for the US

that we believe (again, with a D after it) in.



Let's put this behind us

Bury it somewhere

(we pray) no one will ever find.

Perhaps this secret is the only thing

we can ever share.



Let's not refuse ourselves the D that we need.

We need to hear it, perhaps for closure,

perhaps to assure ourselves

that you and i are just part of each other's histories,

perhaps because we crave for the truth

that whatever it was,

it just really needs a d after it.
