Mountaintop Love

Atop the mountain,
Your hair blows in the wind.
Your smile is wide and full of teeth,
Unabashed joy radiating off your skin,
And I cannot fathom what I did to deserve you.
Where love goes,
You are bound to be;
Relentless romance and quoting Shakespeare,
Giggling while tipsy off red wine,
Red lipstick smudged on my white T shirt.
You're always here;
Not always a physical presence,
But warm and heavy nonetheless.
