Everyone told us
it wouldn't last,
but now I'm just glad
I stayed.
..........
Have you ever wondered
how satisfying it is to
pluck a petal from a tulip?
In all my years, nothing
comes quite as close as
nipping a lover on the lip.
..........
If you had asked me
who, and where, and why?
I would have told you
frankly, my dear,
the question is
why not?
..........
The pitter-patter of the rain
left few things to the imagination.
Hand in hand, we ran away,
identical blushes on our cheeks.
We could not tell anyone.
But we didn't mind.
..........
Cheeks flushed and eyes entranced,
we heaved our breaths of air
in and out
until the firecracker choir
settled down, and once again,
the only sound was the
pound of your heart.
And what lovely a sound it is.
..........
Tender is the heart
that strays from loving
for fear of not loving
back.
Thank God that was
not the case.
..........
I did say go slow.
I love you.
And you did.
And that was enough.
..........
