I saw you first
Strutting down the hallway
Your hair doing that crazy thing it does
I knew
I would grab that hair
and we would do some crazy things
I remember the first words you screamed in my ear
Drunken Words to a song I liked
And when you first kissed me
New Year waited for
February
I remember when you made tea
And I said I was easy
Oh no you are NOT you said
I pinched myself you know
somewhere in the middle of rain candles And you
yet I did not wake up
I haven’t still
You are wary I know of sentimental ****
But when you caught me, pushed my hair away
And whispered “happy?”
You should know it’s the happiest I’ve ever been.
