A Dinner Date

You let yourself in….the door was unlocked!

What an apt metaphor for our beginning.

You found your way

through the doors of my life

one room at a time.

In each, you found me….waiting.

The only difference now is,

It was you I was waiting for.

At the start of this

I wasn’t sure where I was going,

I didn’t know for sure where I was.

I only knew that something was missing.

I know now all those things,

I know now they revolve around you.

The excitement of sharing a meal with you

is only one of millions of ordinary, extraordinary things

I want to experience with you….

Sitting on a desolate beach at twilight.

Walking through a park hand-in-hand.

Making note of the hours that flew past,

while we talked about who we were.

Sharing coffee and breakfast.

Playing games in bed.

Feeling each other’s hands with our own.

Laughing until tears spilled out of our eyes.

The invitation to dinner was more than that,

it was, and is, an invitation to let yourself in….

to everything….always….forever!
