Life lately

I've been falling asleep with your

Voice in my head and hands intertwined;

You call when you're home from work-

I'm tired, but I drive over,

And stay until tomorrow,

The sun reaching in through

Your small basement windows;

You live far, but close enough

That we take turns visiting.

Your mom hugs me every time

I come into your kitchen and every

Time I leave to go home.

We passed your dad driving

On some side street, he waved,

And we smiled- love is so easy

When every part of your life

Fits so casually with mine.

My parents love you,

My sisters adore you,

My brothers tell me how lucky I am.

And I love you too,

But can't tell you yet,

without sounding like a fool-

I've never been so sure of anything.

Loving you is so easy,

It has been since the first

Moment our eyes met.
