After Marriage

When I get up late,
Just ask me,
“Can I get lunch from a shop?”
I’ll never be late.

When I come home being tired,
Just ask me, 
“Do you want a glass of water?”
I’ll never show that I’m tired.

When I wait for your arrival,
Just ask me,
“Do you feel hungry?”
I’ll wait for you ever.

When I am going to die,
Just ask me,
“Shall I hide you in my poems?”
I’ll live with you ever.

Yet, dear,
Don’t try to do marvels,
I love just little things,
though trivial they may be.
