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
