[the Writing of Kuypers]
You asked me why I said that.
And that is why I trusted you

They Called It Trust
Do you remember when
it was 1:30 a.m. one rainy night
and you asked me what
I wanted to do?
I told you that I wanted
to take a bottle of champagne,
climb on to the roof of your house
and toast in the pouring rain.
I shrugged my shoulders flippantly
and said that it was something to do.
But I was testing you.
I was afraid to ask
if you would follow me
when I told you to trust me.
when you poured the champagne
and kissed my wet skin
