Love story – chapter three

Did she hear
              and if she did so
did she ever understand
              and if she did so
did she even ever care
              at all

Did she want him
              or did she need him
or did she know
              what she wanted
or know
              who she needed
or anything
              at all

did she feel
              what he felt
and if she did so
              did she care

did she know
              what he needed
know exactly what he wanted
              and if she did so
did she care did she really ever care
              at all

and if she knew
              what she wanted
and felt she knew
              what he needed
and felt she wanted
               what he needed
did she care
              if he really cared
about her
              at all

Saturday Sunday
               all above board
and all below ground
              a train to the market
and a gallery performance 
              and eating for two
come hell or high water
              So be happy
go lucky
               for with a hug
and a kind kiss
              all is forgiven
and all is forgotten

And so back home to sleep
               perchance to
