Day By Day, Life Goes On

I heard that knock on my door.

I wasn’t expecting anyone.

I was busy cleaning six years of buildup.

I opened the door, not expecting him.

“Frankie…”

It came out with so much hope.

So much emotion.

“I need to talk to you.”

“Of course.”

“I’m sorry about the other day-“

Cutting him off, so much to say.

“No I should apologize.

Everything was my fault.

If I could redo it I would do everything differently.

From the day we met.

I would make sure you knew I loved you.”

The tears in his eyes told me all.

“Kiss me.”
