Procession
Lang Leav
(1) - He used to ask me all the time if I was okay.
/As though he never knew for sure. He would ask
me when he was tired /or frustrated or when he
felt helpless. He would ask me when he was afraid.
(2) - He asked me that same question, long after we
stopped being lovers----- when we became
something less yet somehow more.
Are you okay?
- He would whisper on the phone late at night,
when she was asleep or had gone to her mother`s
for the weekend.
Are you okay?
(3) - He hasn`t asked me in years, but I know he
still thinks it. I know the question still reverberates
in his mind like a broken record and he will keep
looking for answers long after there is nothing left
to appease him.
(4) - It was always the same question, over and
over again. Like the start of a procession. And it
took me years to recognise the unsaid words that
marched silently behind.
(5)
Are you okay; because I love you.
Are you okay; because I need you
Are okay; because I don`t know how to live without
you.(All)
