Of course I am

Are you coming with me

to the appointment?

she asks.

As if I\'d leave her

to go on her own.

I squeeze her hand.

Of course I am.

 

Am I worried about her

how she\'s feeling

about everything

how she\'s sleeping?

Of course I am.

 

What about you?

she says,

turning to face me.

Are you okay?

I give her my most

optimistic and

upbeat smile,

and tell the biggest lie.

Of course I am.
