the power was out in my house
nothing but creaking wood floors
and flickering birthday cake scented candles
and we just stared--
stared into each others eyes
and i was enthralled in them
your cobalt eyes that peered so longingly into mine
and your lips so alluring

i never wanted to leave that couch
and if i had a say in the matter,
i wouldn't have.
but we have many calendars to throw away
and although, it's rather sad
i'm glad that i have something to look forward to
because before you, i didn't have that
and just in case you didn't know,
i love you.
