I melted in his arms,
as Franky sang, \"I love you baby\"
on a loop in my mind.
Only moments before,
words like, \"why are you so far away\"-
on the park bench,
under the \'\'land before time\" trees.
And when I scooted closer,
feeling his sweet relief,
as I nuzzled my head in his shoulder.
Him wrapping his arm around me,
pulling me in closer,
\"I\'ve gotcha\" he\'d keep saying,
so reassuring.
My words came stuttering out,
trying to carry a conversation,
my stomach rising and dropping,
like a roller coaster.
My sub conscience set on thinking-
thinking of a future,
as he spoke of us, and not like \"you and I\".
Our first date and he\'s so sure I\'m the one,
the one he wants to be with.
How could I not say yes?
Yes, to this perfect imperfection.
