The Funny One

I tell you I love you,
You wink and smile at me.
Your smile widens,
And you capture me
In your embrace.

You whisper in my ear,
"I love you, too."
Dearie.
That's what you always
Called me.



My heart jumps a beat,
My limbs feel cold,
And then hot.
I smiled and drew closer
To your side.

And then you laughed.
Mussed my hair,
And tickled me a little.
Then you broke my heart.
"I love you like my own sister."

So I said,
"No, thank you--
--Goodbye."
