but of course

she has to know

she already knows

still she bats her tail and whines

momma, do you love me?

oui, je t’adore

I tell her

yes, I love you

again she whines

but what if I’m hungry?

oui, je t’adore

and if I’m lonely?

oui, je t’adore

or if it’s raining?

je t’adore –  fini?

momma?

oui?

je t’adore aussi

je sais, ma petite,

meme chose

but of course

we both sigh, smiling
