"Perhaps" | 8

"Let's meet real soon" he said to me   my jaw dropped
I didn't suppose   this were our hour for parting
"In May or June?"   his question made my heart stop
my tongue now tied   my eyes were dazed & smarting

"I'm kidding friend" he softly said   embracing me
I sobbed into his shoulder   then I spoke
"I love you more than life   don't be erasing me"
my words   although ironic   weren't a joke

"Well David"   (what a joy!   he spoke my name!)
"today at least   Goliath isn't an issue"
he always liked to play some merry game
even when he were handing you a tissue

"if you can decide   which girl you'd care to woo
perhaps I can tarry a spell   & see this through"
