Because You Love Me?

A poem in Dutch Tanka form

I came to you
because you asked me to
after I'd left.
So now I ask,
why today?

You said “why not,”
which did not clarify
a single thing.
But I came back,
so now what?

You needed me,
which I knew all along.
So now I'm back
and things are fine
Are they not?
