We laughed all through the night

Candle flickering

Galactic symphonies

Bellowing from our bellies

The jokes are light

They illuminate our bond

Pulling smiles across our present

As we reminisce the past

Times when we were

Younger, Stupider, Happier

Poking fun at how we handled

Past arguments

Snickering because we’ve been

Kicked out of clubs and bars.

Made love in

Movie theaters and cars.

Oh, to be happy with you

Right here. Right now.

Feeling whole.

Feeling new.

As if we knew

It would all surmount

To this moment.

To this perfect moment.

NOTES:

I wrote this for Hasib this morning. Last night Sitarra spent the night with her grandparents so we were able to watch an episode of Cosmos and enjoy one another’s adult company. It ended up being a wonderful night 🌹
