Assumptions

 

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Like the ones I’ve made about you.

I assumed that since my father was the first to go,

first to die, that you would be next.

Without a father for so many years, I always thought

I’d lose you before I lost my mother.

I’ve always thought you were my best friend,

my confidant.

But I never thought to ask if that was true.

I assumed you didn’t want to talk about it.

I assumed you wanted to be left alone.

And so I abandoned you when I needed someone the most.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
