An Ode to Love

Oh, love — you sneak in via the fridge,
Claiming one sock, then whisper “bridge”.
You steal the remote and hog the chair,
Yet still grin when I split the fare.
You laugh at my puns, roll at my sighs,
While sneaking chocolate with sweet, wide eyes.
You argue that the dog is yours (again!),
And call the blender “our life-domain”.
Still, when you faint at rom-com’s last scene,
I hand you tissues — love’s behind the green.

This is adorable :) <3 I can't help but smile, the dog is hers, the blender 'ours', and sneaking chocolates with sweet wide eyes, lol, I think that someone deserves a box of chocolates (to share of course ;) for being super lovable as your sweetheart obviously is. Such a cute poem!

"Still, when you faint at rom-com’s last scene, I hand you tissues — love’s behind the green." Love these concluding lines. This is interesting with a touch of hilarity. Greatly enjoyed.
