i say something.
She does not agree.
She slowly comes over
and slaps me.
It is like there is no middle place.
There is no room for discussion.
A no is a slap on my face.
I hear her and remember
to gently move ahead.
She feels bad and rocks
herself on the bed.
I love her and feel so sad
because she is fighting herself.
She hit me and she feels bad.
