Cold

Your reaction was priceless when I told you I loved you.
They surrounded your house and I couldn’t retreat.
I was embarrassed beyond being naked in a mob scene,
The way that you scared me was a talent so sweet.
I turned around, mortified, to see you there smiling.
A smile I’ve never seen on your face so concrete.
You jumped in my arms and I lifted you sideways,
Never again with the taste of defeat.
With tears in my eyes as I kissed you so gently,
Never before was my life so complete.
“I’ll never let go,” you whispered to my ear, so…
And then I woke up from my cold, lonely sleep.
