Silly me

I am sorry I am so prickly
toward you
the one I love the most

I am sorry I did not
take your outstretched hand
when you offered it to me
I should have held it

I am learning still
how to be
vulnerable
even in disagreements

Together we are learning
growing

I am sorry I was silly today

I will try not to be so silly tomorrow

I will grow out of this
just as you are growing out of it

I love you with all I have
and all I will be
and all I have been

Even in my silliness
I still love you
