When Can We?

When can we joke about our anger And together lovingly remember The time you left home in a huff And were forced to return home with a laugh Limping and with a long walk’s sore leg too Because in anger you wore my oversized shoe! When can we joke about our bitterness And together lovingly remember The day I told you on your face And you left midway in your dinner Saying on the street you would rather roam Than ever having a meal at home! When can we joke about our past tiffs And together lovingly remember The times our anger scaled the cliffs And on our home hang a heavy weather Where you and I drifted apart like islands With tear laden hearts and desolate hands!
