Sweetheart
Sunshine
Darling
Beautiful
Babe
All the names I answer when it’s you calling
We go together like
gin and tonic
cheese and crackers
movies and popcorn
Sundays and brunch
And a jacket on a cold night
Every moment with you
feels like freshly laid sheets,
strawberries dipped in chocolate,
my birthday, and multiple hugs
I don’t care if it’s too early
I know what I feel
I love you
and it’s okay
If you don’t feel the same way
