I like to feel your toes rubbing against mine

when we lay in bed, our limbs intertwined.

To some the gesture seems so mundane

but to me, it’s just loves final refrain.

Later we’ll talk and laugh, crying about life,

pretending it was always us, that was husband and wife.

Our pasts will fall open, like well-worn books

of the ultimate adventure story with funky, romantic hooks.

Kissing each other, giggling over pleasure

two spent lovers, finding a secret treasure.
