I Love You... Very Much...

You'd think I'd remember
how miserable I always am
after an argument with you.

You'd think I'd remember
how sad and alone I always feel,
even if I think I "won".

But the problem is--
I don't always think.
Instead. I let my emotions plunge me
headlong into a situation
that's hurful to both of us.

Then, and only then,
I seem to remember how empty
life seems when things
aren't right between us.

I know some things
are hard to overlook or forgive..
but if you could do just that,
I'll try very hard
to make you glad you did.
