morning musings

sometimes i have to remind myself
he's more than a friend

we laugh, driving along at our usual hour,
midst morning traffic
A&W smells and the hungry homeless

sometimes i have to breathe romance back into
our friendship
otherwise we just 'live together'
marriage...

we sigh,
turn the corner on our way to work
past small businesses stretching their weary arms
getting ready for another day of small successes

the miracle really lies in moments
where
you catch yourself staring at this person
realizing how absolutely beautiful they are
that's when the romance
blooms.

we smile
two girls understanding each other
and find ourselves
having
arrived.
