I Feel the Same Way
One year ago
we were sitting in your truck
driving through the center
of a small beach town
on a warm, sunny day
after having walked along the shore
and I looked over at you
holding your hand
to say,
no matter what’s happened between us
or who I’ve been with
I’ve always found myself
returning to the idea
of marrying you,
tears filled your eyes
hidden behind sunglasses,
as you grew quiet,
eventually telling me
that’s the only thing
you’ve ever wanted
to hear me say,
I’m writing now to remind you
I feel the same way
