Our days are planned to the minute
Careers, children... we finesse all of it
Last anniversary was surreptitious 
I find this troublesome and precarious

We keep gallivanting - acting nonchalant 
Time to acquiesce - it's not what I want
When we attempt to set time aside for us
Too much Interference - too much fuss 

Your texts today, I have to say, oh so hot
Schedules can be rearranged, can they not?
Your idea to rendezvous is certainly unique
A night of ecstasy is exactly what we need

You do logistics - I'll do administration
Make it a weekend - priority assignation

We can sit there and have things go our way. But when the heart gets intertwined, it makes for a whole different day. I'll take being intertwined. :)
