What did you say, my darling, When you spoke to me, just then?
“I said that today I love you more Than yesterday or the day before."
I know—I heard you the first time— Just wanted to hear it again!
A speaker asks their beloved to repeat something they've just said, and the beloved answers with a tender declaration: today's love is greater than yesterday's, greater than the day before's. Then comes the twist. The speaker admits they heard it perfectly well the first time. The question was never about missing the words; it was a small trick to get the compliment delivered twice.
That's where the title comes in. "Strategy" turns a simple moment into a bit of harmless scheming. The speaker is playful, a little bashful, and clearly hungry for reassurance, though never in a heavy or anxious way. The mood is warm and light, with the easy humor of two people comfortable enough to tease each other. The beloved's reply suggests a love that keeps growing, while the speaker's confession shows how much those words are worth hearing again.
