I only wonder if you remembered why you were
And I quickly got an answer back.
Mildly cautious you returned my grin with a wisp of your own
Now I can see me cheeky smile in the reflection of your eyes
And one more staring right back at me.
We both felt bad about smiling
And did our darndest to suppress it
But that made it obviously worse.
I heard your brain say **** it
Mine chuckled and invited you down
to the reserved bedside next to me
Your name was written all over it.
Without a second thought you were there
And the smiles jumped between us
As we blinked the rest of that hour away.
Even with my eyes closed I could still see you in all clarity
The faint line of concern
sliding across your forehead from time to time
As I stop breathing.
Ah ha! We think it together
At least we both recalled…
I'm truly sorry, I didn't want to be right
I could just tell from the beginning
I could die tonight.
But it will be OK
I love you dearly and all I can say
Is the last words on my lips
Will be printed upon me for all to read
I'm glad my love for you is now there to see.
