Love

Love

Remembering you fondly

As the sun rays fade, your moon intensifies

As doves sing, the wistful breeze carries their sonnet

As sweaty palms intertwine, the lips quiver

Ah

You refresh us

Remembering you feels like

The deep breaths you take as you glance in the mirror

Hoping the first impression won’t be the last

The combing of your locks

Catching flickers of the last bit of sunset left

You’ve changed one too many times

Sent one too many “on the way!” texts to put your tinder to shame

Droplets of fragrance anxiously bursting into the air 

An ambiance of that first time

The way you closed your door after hounding others off the freeway

Coincidentally parking beside you

Blushing because you now know I’m a stalker

Timidly scratching my head as I walk alongside you 

For the first time

The sunset is kind to your brown eyes 

That pull me in

Not even science could explain this one

Doors open and the clamor of the crowd fills the empty spaces

Indecisive with the waiter who causally hands menus as they ask, “Where would we like to be seated tonight?”

Because tonight all that matters is the first time with you

Glance at me, waiting for your response 

Seated

Tonight

With you, is where I am

A suggestion shudders from those lips

Charming, you are

And I know I’m in for a surprise with you

Are charming

I follow your lead and it won’t be the last time

You’re going to be a memory, aren’t you?

“Are we ready to order?”

“Just a little more time.”

With you

“Are we ready to...”

“Just a little more...”

The repetition becomes a reminder of how easy it is to be with you

Time isn’t on the menu and you don’t seem like the type that cares much for monotonous moments

“Are we ready...”

To give just a little more of our bits of forever to one another

The look in your eyes lets me know

That this forever won’t feel so long with you
