Am compiling my old poems here. I haven't written in a while.

Something I wrote inspired by three things: An umbrella, a puddle of water and a streetlight. Written under two minutes.

"Are you in love with me yet?"

It was a joke, a tease, a game

we play it often, we play it well

I question, I accuse, I jeer

You deny, you laugh, you roll your eyes

We part and meet again

A glittering smile, a passing glance and it all starts again

"Are you in love with me yet?

You smile and shake your head. "Are you in love with me yet?"

Seasons change and friends come and go

And still we meet again.

An embrace, a kiss, a whisper. "Are you in love with me yet?

A shrug, a peculiar look, an impish smile. "Are you in love with me yet?"

Day turns to night, so quickly it seems

We pass each other down the street, I stop. "Are you in love with me yet?"

Dark eyes open, closes then opens again. "Are you in love with me yet?"

Lights flicker on, the moon rises in the night sky.

Three heartbeats later.

"Yes."
