Poems From The Rooftop

Yellow

And as I drop it all to take care of you like I said I would
It feels right
Never nerve wracking anymore
The chemistry is good
The banter is fun and light
The caffeine has taken its toll in a coffee shop riddled with the voice of a preachy uneducated being
Spouting nonsense about politics, covid and more
And as we get up to leave I can tell you're about to smack her. You don't thankfully.

We venture to my car, and quickly switch to yours. And then head out to the nature center and sit parked, listening to music. Talking and singing
Sketching and smiling.
A few times catching you looking at my lips and I let it pass rather than obsessing over it.

And I don't think Ive ever felt at peace enough with someone that I could accept whatever role they chose to give me rather than asking for more.
The sun is warm and its nice to just have company

Out in the field in front of us
Theres a yellow flower.
Just one.

And in the evening when I'm driving in the dark with the sun roof exposed. you ask,
"You ever just take snapshots?"

And i reply "yea all the time"
And you 'click' while you're right next to me. Both of us Smiling and I can't help it one bit.

Its the moments like this i am so thankful
That i chose myself
Because I wouldn't want to miss you for the world
