pounding feet
quiet footsteps on the stairs
thunderous drone
pitter patter down the hall
it stops.

a clap
a sigh
bat of an eyelid
and a smile.
ingredients to a successful woo.

endless numbers
beer on an empty stomach
crying in the shower
nonchalance.

a laugh
a hug
don’t stop the music
dance the night away
ingredients to a great weekend

aching head
tired fingers
sore body
it all starts here.

pounding feet
whispers in the staircase
a pitter patter in a heavy heart
it stops.
