I'm seeing her again

tonight


I'm waiting in the snowflakes


I see them

on her hair


she orders fries


she is trying not to be shy


my stomach is twisted


I forget about everything

in my mind

to focus on her


she is wearing a dress


I barely remember the food

in my mouth


I pull myself together

and I say it


will you do this with me

please


will you come to this place with me

or the place next door


tomorrow

the next day

every day

for as long as you can


I look at her

and her cheeks flush


as soon as it left my lips

I regretted it


but then

she agrees

we are together


and once it is said

I decide we always will be
