[downswing]

You are.

I do.

[weifinder]

... Thank you.

[downswing]

I have wronged you with distrust before.

But you must decide to permit amends.

[weifinder]

I have, and will continue.

Please just speak, catch my eye, anything more than let go without, to me, warning.

[downswing]

...you nag. Like a wife.

[weifinder]

Who knew about the hidden benefits of marriage!

( once you know you're married that is )

[downswing]

And the detriments.

[weifinder]

Dreams need grounding in reality!

[downswing]

'On the mountains, snow sheens white
Amid clouds, the moon shines bright.
I hear you have a fickle heart.'

[weifinder]

'Old friend, tell me
has not a wild goose reached you there?'

[downswing]

Mercy. Do not thin the face of an old man before his son.

[weifinder]

He thinks nothing ill of you, only joy for your expanded affections.

done

[downswing]

Then, I shall hold my secrets.

[weifinder]

Hold as you must. Just aim not to withhold, as I likewise try.

[downswing]

I shall whisper words into your hair, your pillow.

[weifinder]

Waking and sleeping, sweet and soft?

[downswing]

You are not that man.

[weifinder]

I mean are you going to whisper any of those things while I wake, husband.

[downswing]

No.

[weifinder]

See? Devious, devious man.

[downswing]

Flattery incurs vanity.
