Remember that day
I dented your new Ferrari?
I thought you would murder me,
you did not.
Remember that time
I spilled wine on your new carpet?
I thought you would hate me,
you did not.
Remember that day
I dragged you to the beach?
It was raining like you said it would
I thought you would say “I told you so”,
you did not.
Remember that time
I did not tell you the party was informal?
You came in a suit and leather shoes
and I thought you would abandon me,
you did not.
There were a lot of things
you chose not to do.
You put up with me,
loved me, protected me.
I remember that day
I wanted to do something for you.
I waited for your return at the airport,
you did not.
I remember that time
I cried myself to sleep and
told myself I did not love you,
I did.
Ang Yen Chi (2 Unity)
