You make me feel like I'm still a teenager
A giddy young girl whose eyes
Gleam when you arrive
I see you in the doorway, smiling
The butterflies flutter so loud
In my stomach you can probably hear
Their wings flapping
Your hair falls to the side and you
Look up at me as you stand
In the doorway of our home
We've lived here so many years
Yet I still get elated while I wait
For you and your dimpled smile
To fall back into my arms
No matter how much time goes
By it seems to stand still when
We are in the same room
You help me face the seasons of my life
When I didn't feel safe with
Myself or anyone else and, you
Give me that secure peace of mind
I can see our teenage selves and
Now our mid-thirty days that
We create and navigate as a team
I see all of you and feel
Gratitude for the life we began, even
If sometimes we're sad that it may
Have started just a little too late
After a long days work you come in
Through that door and embrace me
Like you haven't seen me in several years
But I have dinner on the stove
And as our children play, we kiss
Like it's still the beginning and
We're just a couple of young kids in love
