Simple Happines


I couldn't be happier than I am with you.

Your hand in mine, warm and soft. You pulled me in close,

But not close enough, your heartbeat sounding as if

It were a work of Beethoven as you spun me

Around in circles. Dancing fools. I laughed like a child,

Throwing my head back as we broke all the rules.

 

I never knew how powerful love could be,

Until the day you said you loved me.
