To you and I (2)

We’ve been to many places, through a lot, in grandeur, out of luck;

open to feedback, resistant to change;

lately, resolved to protect energy, ours and others’;

in some past times, painfully;

at other past times, delightfully, joyfully.

You’ve grown-up by enduring life’s little despairs, including spilling

a drink while carrying a number of things in your arms that is

arguably too many, a roommate walking in the apartment with street shoes on immediately after you swept and mopped, and

double and triple-booking yourself,

setting us up for a hard - but educational at least, and potentially inspiring - decision

on where, and who with, do you want to spend your time; our time.

Nanami would say that we’ve grown up quite a bit.

Part of me feels that way, maybe all of me.

Growing up is a little bit sad.

I think it’s worthwhile to have an inner child; I think

we are capable of a lot with one of us being a child.

If you do what you say you will,

then I think I can be at ease.

Today, my answer is yes. Thanks for asking.

I’m sleepy.
