Tonight



I am a bit down tonight

my parents came over earlier, I made them
a cup of tea

I did the dishes, then
with moms help

my father was away in thought
whilst making tomatoes and eggs
in the pan, the way I'v showed him:

"The pan must be hot at first, then
you can regulate the temperature"

My mother stayed a bit after he left

beautiful in her dark hair

"I love you"
she said

in a melancholic way

The very fact that at some time you had shown your father how to make eggs with tomatoes properly and the fact that your mother can tell you she loves you (my mother could never seem to do that--too intimate) seems to indicate that, even though it was a somewhat down evening, there's quite a bit of caring between you and your parents.

Very heartfelt and sincere.

Like there was something that was wished for tonight that didn't come to be is the sad feeling that comes through for me. Emotive, and leaves the reader wanting to console...
