our love affair
was once
romantic
indulgent
lustful
but not now.
i’ve grown up
i’m a wife
mother
student
worker
i have responsibilities now.
our love affair
has dwindled
and i fear
we are barely friends
merely acquaintances.
i am guilty
of forsaking you
and
putting on a show
feigning interest
so
i am reclaiming
our love
and
establishing a new devotion
to you.
