Tell Me Please

by Sharon Mollerus

 

Tell me something, please,
‘cause I’d just like to know:
there now by the window,
what did you happen to see?

Someone walking by,
or the blooming cherry tree?
What were you thinking of
when you smiled to yourself, my love,
like you never do for me?

I just want to be
let in on what happened
all of a sudden
to make you so pleased.
