About Today..

Sometimes when we talk
I get the distinct feeling that
You are not glad
You are you
I am me
And we are we.

I detect a detached chill.

It used to worry me
Until I realized
That only a man
Who can be very attached
Can also be very detached.

And though at times I still detect detachment
I can weather it.
For I have come to learn that
You and I , my love,
Do not live in a temperate zone.
