I dial her number

I hear the sleep in her voice

Did I wake her

She says No, but I think I did

I say I’m on my way over.

She meets me as I get out of my truck

A warm hug, a hot kiss.

 

We lie in bed

Entwined in the joy of each other

Hearts beating faster and faster

Sighs of contentment 

I screenshot the moment. 

 

Late lunch at our favorite place

I delight in feeding her forkfuls 

She laughs

Happiness shines in her face 

I reach for her hand

She gives me her heart. 

 

Beneath a starless sky

We talk about everything,

Anything, nothing.

She falls asleep

Her head on my shoulder

So many songs I want to sing to her

But for now, I just hold her tighter.
