remember me nots

remember me nots.

she threw down the
fresh
bouquet
of
"Remember-Me-Nots"
and
pranced away in rage,

muttering the usual
curses
she mutters whenever
i
piss her off more intensely
than
what is our usual.

"love you too dear."
i
say laughing.

crying and dying
inside
and terrified the
muses
might catch on and
somehow
ruin the love i've
battled
in my heart so long.

a
few hours later she
comes
storming into the kitchen,
walks
directly up to me, and
slaps
me hard in the face,

before
kissing me long and
hard
with a fervent passion
the
greatest of  actors
(god)
could never hope to fake.

+

shortly after,

we both stare into the
absence
of each others eyes for
several
eternal seconds till
our
reverie is broken by
her smile.

"how could i ever
forget
an asshole like you?"
she
asks laughing the biggest
tears
i've ever seen.

then she takes my hand,
and
leads me slowly to our
room.

(isn't "love" grand?)
