Questions

A quiet catechism of love and self

Do you love her?
Yes.
Do you love him?
Yes.
Does she sometimes get on your nerves?
Yes.
Does he?
Yes.
Do you ever get on your own nerves?
Yes.
Mad at yourself?
Livid.
Does she ever make you happy?
Over the moon.
Does he?
Yes.
Do you forgive yourself?
Sometimes.
Do you forgive her?
Do you forgive him?
Sometimes.
Would you do it all again?
Do you wish you had another life?
Do you think it would be better?
