Love Note
paper plates fill the trashcan
and an orangie glow lights up the fire pit
in the distance i hear the faint sounds
of neighbors saying their goodbyes
and car doors slamming.
one last dried up hamburger sits upon the grill
and as i wash the mustard stained spot from the table
i notice the note you left underneath the candle
my heart skips a beat as i freeze and wonder
should i just throw it in the trash?
after the coals grow cold and a cup of coffee
i reach for the blue paper that is
carefully inscripted with a heart next to my name
reminding me of another note you left me years ago
about your plans to leave for Japan
my heart racing i held it for a moment in utter panic
but pleasantly surprised to read the words
nothing wordy or sappy,
just an i love you,
which made me very happy!
