Tonight I am making dinner for two It'll last the whole week I can never just cook a proper portion size It's like I'm accustomed to cooking for six and can't adapt to change But I love it so much It might be awful It might be great Either way my fiance will smile and tell me I did a great job Because he honestly believes it He is so considerate and careful with my emotions He reminds to take my medicines 9 am 5 pm 8 pm And sometimes in between depending He looks at me like I am home I am safe I am wild I am beautiful And I laugh because he makes me believe it He has been there for me for years now Not always directly and I've tried to hate him But we were in a different place all that time ago And with age, like wine, we became better We matured and calmed And are on the same page now Engaged and happy and in love So tonight we'll sit at the table and the TV will be on Probably football or action films because we let his parents control the remotes for now I'll light a few candles And he'll set our places I'll place the pasta between us and fall a little more in love Over dinner for two with smiles resting on both our faces
I waited all day to hang out on the waning crescent moon but a storm came in from the north so we sat on the front porch it’s just a phase we all go through my dog said and oh how we howled at the rain.
I know it's your favorite scent Sometimes, especially lately, it's hard not to think about you I want to reach out but I don't know how And I'm scared you'll just push me away because I've chosen him But people really do change as they grow up I want to tell you all about my days all the time Like two days ago when my brakes stopped working As I was going downhill in the harbor Oh I was so scared and I wanted to tell you Or when I had my magical day at Rainier But I know you'd be disappointed I want to tell you the small things to Like how I burnt the bacon and undercooked my pasta tonight Or how I can't decide if I love pink or orange more Or even how much I love that new CD And crave hot cocoa all the time I just miss your company but can't figure out how to tell you And I wish I could be your dryer lint and cigarette ash again
Walk through in the early morning While the sun sits on the horizon While stars are still burning brightly dead Take the time to be truly fascinated by your home And just speak Tell your house how much you love it How grateful you are for the memories you've made and will make Drop your worries at the front door and keep walking You can pick them back up later Talk to your house like it's an old friend Sit in the silence and listen to what it has to say in return Keep your house healthy and happy Maintain your chores If you fall behind don't worry House will always forgive you Because if you listen You'll hear how much it loves you
