X-X** And Me ....[while My Mate's Away; True; I Sent It To Her] Poem by Bri Edwards

Nearly ten years we've known each other, ........been married nearly nine!
It's true we don't always ‘get along too well'; I'm a ‘hot Dog'; she is 'whine'.

[oops! I meant ‘wine']

At first we knew each other from a dating site's info and our email NOTES.
Then face-to-face in Ithaca we met! Since then we've been together in trains,
planes, and BOATS.
And cars of course, and buses, in cabs, on bicycles. Once on horses [almost].
NOT on GOATS!

We both are sometimes critical of the other. X-X says: ‘You were quiet at first. …..
Now you're LOUD! '
Yes, if anything I've gotten louder with the years, causing at times a marital ‘cloud'.
She also used to (in reference to my ‘limp', at least) say: ‘If I'd known your condition, ….I'd not married! '
But, especially the past few years, it's been HER who's (almost) , by discomfort, …..
been buried. : ( : (

I love her though SHE has strong doubts at times. Love doesn't wipe away all ‘issues'.
Why, at times I've even (not purposely) caused her to cry, …..necessitating tissues.
I know I'm at times a thorn in her side. And sometimes she's a pain in my ass.
Her ‘upsetness' sometimes smolders for days. Mine dissipates quickly ….like anal gas.

I don't mind that, once again at X-mas, she's gone away, left me home.
I know "I", and I'm quite sure "she", enjoy(s) some ‘apart' time when she does roam.
But, if I thought she would never be coming back OR if she did not telephone,
I wouldn't want (too much) to continue here in X-X**, ……mostly quite alone.

I do believe X-X** loves me, though at times I think she may ‘forget'.
I doubt I'll ever live up to her expectations, but I'm glad, ‘ten' years ago, we met.

I. M. I. S. S. Y. O. U! :)
and it is raining …….100%
