A Summer of Open Invitations

You told me black was your favorite color,

and I have always preferred lace, myself,

so I found something to make us both happy.

 

I knew I would see you today,

and if I leaned over in just the right way

you'd see the quick peek of what's hiding underneath

this light summer dress-the kind that lifts off so easily,

and you would wonder if it was for you.

 

Did you notice?

It was not an accident, but an invitation.

And something about the way

you placed your fingertips over your lips

to hide the smile slowly spreading across them

tells me that you accept.

Grad school is shaping up to be much more than I bargained for...

It's going to be an interesting summer, people.
