she said he needed slumber
to fuel the places drained
by his desire to provide...
like he always did.
so they wagered reasons;
they fashioned romance
in the subtle guise of desire...
like they always did.
and he wandered into the dark
emptied pockets and memories
and drifted off in thoughts of her...
like he always did.
and she giggled, claiming her status
"you napped, I win!"
I love you baby's, were whispered...
like they always did.
she adorns him, pressing her sweetness
into the fiber of his being, while he feeds her
chocolate covered strawberries and coffee...
like they always will.
