Of All Things

Of all things,

You had to mention

My love for you.



Not the meeting I had today,

Or the movie we'll rent tonight..

Not the vacation we've not taken

Or your Mom's diminishing sight.



Not the project in New Orleans

Or the deal with the rent.

I told you just to tell him

That it's already been sent



You didn't mention my eyes,

How I look when I am stressed.

You just don't realise

Just how much I'm depressed.



I'll talk adout it later

When I can give you more time.

Yes, we'll get your car fixed

When you can make a dime.



I'm working tomorow

Don't bother trying to call.

I'll be working late again, Honey.

Yes, I've got the key.



I still can't believe

Of all things

You had to mention love.



You were late in waking

Me up for this morning's meeting.

Hey, I don't want any excuses.

Look at me when I am speaking.



you know that I care

why else would I stay here?

I said no, no wine in the house.

No, why do we need beer?



It's getting late

We need to get some rest.

Yes, yes, absolutely, Honey,

You know you're The Best.



Then, the rising of the sun

Brought fresh rustling of the leaves.

My true love was gone.

Of all things....
