you stepped over
the threshold 
not looking back
returning a year
later with intention 

Ready to begin the quest
blendng our lives
down a new path of
late night conversations 

sharing meals in house
at diners, cafes, fine dining
exploring our bodies
gazing at late night stars

listening to Eric Clapton,
Patsy Cline, Roberta Flack
killing me softly, as your
lips grazed mine.

love loomed large
for a long, long time
so glad you gave
Us a chance.
