It’s been a year

Since we first met
Talking over breakfast
Lounging by the pool
My hand upon your knee
Waking up to what might be

It’s been a year

Since we first walked
From the past
Into your room
Your simple summer dress
The soft light of the moon

It’s been a year

Since we first touched
Held you in your arms
Lips warmly pressed
Hands upon your body
Head upon my chest

It’s been a year

And in that time
I’ve got to know you
Watch you grow you
Like a sunflower in bloom
Taking your chances
Finding your answers

It’s been a year

So time says
But of course
This love that is you and I
Spans eons
Flouting boundaries
Of a starlit sky
