Picnic

From my sandwich

You steal a bite

Is it really a month?

Since our coffee shop first-date

 

A month with you

And here we are

Safe in the time of spring

The time thats made for growing

 

Here on the bench

In this 'our' park

Where many times we've sat

Learning about each other

 

We find a way

To make the time

To simply be alone

In company of others

 

I close the flask

Our picnic done

And clear the things away

It's then that I catch the scent

 

Of blossoms? No

It's your perfume

So beautiful on you

How could I not have noticed

 

I catch your smile

My heart just stops

Well, figuratively

For it's beating double time

 

I tuck your hair

Behind your ear

And kiss you on the cheek

Like they do in old movies

 

It's time to go

Return to work

Factory and office

So quickly we make our plans

 

At 6 p.m

I'll pick you up

We'll go a drive somewhere

And try to catch the sunset

 

And then at night

We'll have to part

And wait for day to call

And our game to start once more.
