You Promised Me Cheesecake

You promised me cheesecake.
And now, we can't remember our first date
There's a photobooth strip of the zoo,
that first summer,
when it was too hot
and all the animals were napping.
But I held your hand
while we looked for the red panda.

on a Friday night.
Or waking up to make breakfast
home fries, eggs, and toast
on Saturday morning.
Sitting with you,
alone together.
Knowing I can blow you a kiss
and you'll catch it.
Every time.
You promised me cheesecake.
