She Asked

She asked
"Why ?"
"Because I want you."

She asked
" Where?"
" Wherever you want to."

She asked
" When?"
" Whenever you find the time."

She asked
" How?"
" We'll will find a way."

With a curious smile
and a slumping
of her shoulders
or were they
suddenly relaxed?

It was obvious
she was exhausted
from resistance
her resignation clear
her surrender
complete.
