The Story of Us

Remind me again how
the stars aligned when
you saw me and
I breathed you,
muddling my words
trying to say something
clever…

I must have
been…you know…
impressive
enough ’cause
here you are and here
i am, time
tested, fire-forged, blood,
sweat and hot tears, fit
together like hot dogs
and…for you I’ll say it…
ketchup.

Remind me
though, how you
knew
it was me, for my
heart never tires of
hearing you tell it.
