In Denial

Some days are like this,

I won`t answer calls, nor remember to call.

Some days are like this,

I leave your text unanswered for a long while, for reasons I`m unsure of.

Some days are like this,

I pretend not to hear you say you love me, and I think it`s cliché telling you all the time.

Some days are like this,

I don`t want to see you in the evening, under the fruit tree.

Some days are like this,

When your hands feel hard and uninviting ― I just don`t want to hold them!

Some days are like this,

When your kisses taste bitter, and all I want is candy.

Some days are like this,

When your embrace chokes and all I want is some space.

Some days are like this,

When I am only in denial, and all that I want is you.

I love you to the moon and back.
