Not today

Maybe one day
I will not laugh so much 
at the crass one-liners you tell and retell a hundred times,
But not today. 

Maybe one day
I will be distracted
when you lay bare the secrets of your simple life,
But not today. 

Maybe one day
No magic will happen
when your rough hands touch mine,
But not today. 

Maybe one day
I will be tired
of your untiring youth darling,
But not today.

Maybe one day
I will not want to be loved 
the uncomplicated full-on way that you love me,
But not today.

Maybe one day
I will want to claim my life back from you
for myself or for someone else,
But not today.
Just not today.
