A former sub once asked Me, do You really love me?
I considered the question, then considered the source,
Determining the answer carefully..
Finally, I smiled and responded with a nod, replying simply..
I DO love you.. A little.
Her face went ashen, then an illegal shade of red,
The perceived slight ALL that mattered..
She chose to accept My response as an insult, so it seemed,
But perception is only as deep a meaning as one reads..
She CHOSE to see My simple response as an INSULT,
Though NOTHING could be further from the Truth..
She raised her voice, she ranted and railed,
Such is the folly of our youth..
I have given You my EVERYTHING, she said without thinking it through,
I bow, I scrape, I follow EVERY command, whether or not I feel I want to.
But You can't tell me I mean everything, I mean more than anyone ELSE.
That You would see me as someone to keep beside you for all time..
I smiled sadly, slowly opening up, these words you accuse are FAR from true.
I answered the question simply and honestly, now it's time to realize the TRUTH..
I love you little bit more today,
Than I EVER have loved you before.
I'll love you a little more on the morrow,
How can you ask, or WANT for any more?
The love that we shared, I was led to believe,
Would transcend the confinements of Time..
Seems that YOU have found My answer less than you saw,
Didn't even choose to ask the definition of MINE..
