at that moment
I had a choice
to be offended or not
but the question rolled off
without a trace

but it made wonder
those who don’t congratulate
have that “look” in their eye
do they think it
do they believe it
does it matter

absolutely not

the neat part is
Scott’s helped me for years
without commitment
without an “I do”
but unconditionally
has helped me

and through the years
I’ve struggled
hence the help
so why jump now

if people really KNEW me
it’d never cross their minds

I’m so eager to be in Texas
to continue the honeymoon
that’ll last forever
