Things you just don’t, either

There's things you can do
and things you just don't
because if you did
you'd have to hide
and once you hid
you'd never have lied more
than that day you found you'd hid at her door

And whilst I'm still unsure
and the door in question
remains half ajar
I'd not tarry I don't think
in the blink of an eye
which caresses
what it espies when looking forward to you

And so now my insecurity
belies my other
erstwhile uncertainty:
I've lived my life
without a wife
as well as I could
ever have done

That's all it's been
and all I saw
and then today I'm really happy
and all up for
a SAPPY review
of you and me
and me and you

And equally time
to rhyme the end
and equally lines
we read between
and equally things
we just don't either
except, that is, when yes we do

And then
it's clearly me and you
and then
it's obvious: never true
and then it's never less than us
because it's time
we began to trust ...
