Trying to outguess,
Tiptoeing around his bad moods,
Trying not to make him mad,
Trying to make him happy,
Trying to make things better
Because he’d had a rough start.
Because she loved him.

Trying to understand her is like
trying to light a...

He will try to outguess my age.
It is as easily done as guessing the number of seeds inside a melon.
I stand still, thinking he will never get anywhere near it.
