Mesmerized

The first time I saw you

You wore black pants

orange hoodie

so perfect

Just like a painting

You had no flaws

Still I see

No flaws

I was mesmerized by you

I still am

I know I can be too much

I’ve been told

But it’s you

You with whom I want to grow old

I want to dance in the kitchen at 2am

When the rain hits our roof

We sit on the front porch

Watching it pour

The littlest droplets make me think

The littlest moments with you

The texts

The calls

The memories

They’re just for you and I

60 years later

I hope to look into your eyes

While we’re dancing in the kitchen at 2am

and still be mesmerized
