After Afterglow

Listening to our song

I chased the early memories of love

Hearts soaring, endless delight,

everything wrapped up in a cute melody just for us.

After breathless wonder, we came back to Earth

And I sighed louder than the TV when

You ask me “What’s for dinner?”

With breakfast dishes still crowding the sink

So I stared at you like you are beyond crazy

But you tickled me until I heard our song again.
