I’m sitting in the sunlight with my wife.
The sunlight is warm.
The sunlight is beautiful.
I feel calm because I’m with my wife.
We talk, little by little.
It’s been a long time since we talked.
It’s good. It’s really good.
Some people are watching TV.
They are laughing.
But I don’t find it fun.
I like the sunlight more.
As I sit in the sun, I start to think:
“I’ve been hurt.”
Now, I’m slowly starting to understand.
But still,
I don’t know why I got hurt.
I don’t know why this happened.
I don’t know what went wrong.
I just feel sad.
Deeply sad.
I talk with my wife in the sunlight.
It’s been a while.
A long, long while.
I haven’t said much in all that time.
I’m sorry.
Truly sorry.
For things that weren’t even a big deal,
I was too busy.
Now, this time feels precious.
And warm.
