You look away
Laugh, spin
Your hair shines in the sunlight
And I can't help but smile

I stride over to you
Bubbling inside
Almost spilling over before I reach you
And then I stop

Cover your eyes
"Guess who?" I laugh
How long has it been?
But you still recognize the growl in my voice

Your new friends don't recognize me
They puzzle, but keep silent
And so do you
You don't shriek or laugh

You just turn
And burrow your head into my chest
Your hands grab my collar
And you try to pull closer, but can't

The grin spreads across your face
The tears roll down your cheeks
"It's been too long," I whisper
"Too long," you echo

And we stand there for eternity
Friends watching awkwardly
But I don't care
And you're too lost in me to notice

The magic words spill from my mouth
Like a spell that will change my life forever
"I love you"
And you look into my eyes

You don't say anything
So I move my head closer
And you close your eyes in consent
My lips meet yours

So our fate is sealed
Too late to go back now
Peace washes over me
Excitement pounding on the inside

Pillow fights in onesies
Singing loudly in the car
Throwing bits of food at each other
Curling up on the couch for a movie
Dancing in the light of the fridge
Cooking at two in the morning

Romantic dates at fancy restaurants
Dress parties, I in a tux, you in a gown
Candles, stars, lanterns, glistening streets
Dancing in the rain
Kisses at the top of the mountain
You walking down the aisle

From young
To old
Beginning
End

I will be yours
You will be mine
Love made us
So let us make love
