Milk
Eggs
Red wine
Parm cheese
Hands held
Your embrace
Half-awake kisses

I thought a wedding board was dumb before you.
Friends pinned for a wedding with an unknown man.
Now I find myself glancing at wedding pictures.
“An elopement in Italy sounds nice”
Popped into my head.

If I’m going mad.
Don’t take me out of the rabbit hole.
I like it here.

You are the boy
Who makes me forget
That any others exist

The first morning we woke up together
& I looked over to see your hand interlocked within mine.

I knew you had me.

If your eyes were the Atlantic Ocean-
No matter how strong the ship.
Or how accurate the navigation system.
I’d still get lost.

Everywhere I imagine myself going-
The vacations I have yet to plan.
Cities I have not yet seen.
I imagine waking up there with you.
