Sweetest Day

They call it a cliché
I even laugh with them, too
They say "it's just a Hallmark holiday"
But then I'm surprised by you 

How do you explain to someone
that you've married your best friend? 
That when you've find the right one
it feels like a sleepover that never ends

That feeling to them is just foreign
They simply don't understand
The kind of love I have for him
Our souls fit hand in hand

We can anticipate what the other will say
Before they finish their sentence 
He holds me close and together we sway 
During a kitchen floor slow dance 

They say "There's no such thing as soulmates" 
That it'll work "if you try hard enough"
For them, that makes my heart ache
They must still be combing through the rough

I really don't mean to boast
But then again, I do
As we say "I love you most"
I know I've found my forever with you. 

I've married my best friend
and they'll tell me that's a cliché
But who else got a bouquet of red
for Halmark's silly "Sweetest Day?"

I love this! My parents were that romantic. I was blessed to see the best and yet not ready for the test, but we loved each other enough to hang in there. Not every marriage gets the bouquet but those that do show that these things are possible. One item my hubby bought me for my birthday this year - a tiny music box plays You are my sunshine, writing inside from Disney’s “Up.” So cute and special

A lovely piece Katelyn, with such good imagery, with great rhyme and flow too. Keep spilling the ink! Blessings from Scotland, Gordon
