Tell Me You Love Me
It was early evening
Wanting to be alone
They walked
To the garden
Fragrance of flowers
Muted colors everywhere
She stood on a low stone ledge
Slightly above him
Looking up he asked, Tell me you love me
Why she asked
He replied, Just say it
She toyed with his emotions, Men don’t want love
All they want is sex
He said, Sex is a vague promise
Love is forever
Bored, she replied, Don’t fool yourself
Love is only a memory
He pleaded, Then tell me you love me
And let me hold on to the memory
Relenting she said, Hold me closer
I’ll whisper the
Words you want to hear.
