Smile, you're on camera.
Calloused Hands, covered in flour,
Crusted in tender dough
Apron used to wipe the knife
Stained.
Red, green, and hints of yellow. Colors of,
Peppers, tomatoes, a touch of basil, of love.
Wrapped around my waist,
"Give me one second, I've got to check the oven"
Food and love,
Intertwined in memory, sharing a laugh and a drink, with way too much bread on the table.
The edges of your lips twisting upward ever so slightly, as the taste hits your tounge.
Hands reaching towards one another,
As we enjoy this meal,
This delicious love.
