In me she sees

In me she sees an engineer
although arithmetic is not my subject

In me she sees a writer of many books
although I hardly read any

In me she sees a philosopher
although I hardly shift my paradigms

In me this woman sees what I can't see
She rejoices in the things which I cannot find joy in
She listens to the sorrows which my life brings
She characterises our relationship with hugs and kisses

Yet I am taken back by how
a few years ago I thought she was out to get me
a wolf in sheep's clothing

But now as I am to become something she is,
a mother...
I wonder...
How could I have missed that the basis
of all the groundings and fights was love?
