Understanding

In Which a Man Claims a Glimmer Of
Understanding of the Female Mind

A good friend and coworker-
We once shared something more
'til she abruptly shut it down

Now during conversations
She shows some jealousy
Of other women I may speak of
I found this quite confusing

The wee small hours last night
Brought an epiphany of sorts
And understanding made me smile
Not because it was amusing
No, in fact it's rather sad

She still doesn't love me
But wants me to love her still
