The Calm

It’s vivid and brilliant
I’m scared it’ll fade
The memories surface
Like frogs in the rain

I trip on the street
So I lay in the grass
I close my eyes
I’m scared it’ll pass

I feel like
I’ll open my eyes
And wake up in your bed
I’ll go to your kitchen
And tap on your head

You’ll swat at my hand
And you’ll pass me a coffee
She’s sleeping on the couch
So we try to walk softly

I sit on the floor
While you go to wake her up
And the feeling I’m feeling
Is filled up with love

She grumbles and tells you
To leave her alone
But she pats my face
And I feel likе I’m home

Ahe finally sits up
Snd I sit at her feet
You sit down nеxt to her
My chin on your knee

I capture the moment
As clear as I can
You see it in my face
And you reach for my hand

You kiss my knuckles
She links our fingers
There’s talk about breakfast
The softness lingers

You kiss my forehead
She wants to act tough
But I see in her eyes
The feeling is love

But I open my eyes
I’m not at your place
By the time it was over
I was years out of state

So I walk back home
With grass in my eye
You didn’t call to say the news
And I still wonder why
