today

three lovely things happened

one after the other

to little old me

in my teacup room

on my pea green carpet.

first, the phone rang

you know, that old old phone

that antique from gram

it's pale pink and jangly.

hello chirped kara

(always the bird)

but turned to me:

it's for you.

it was him

and his voice was smiling

and so was mine.

second, he asked me

to meet him tomorrow

5 pm at the bravery

and i said yes yes yes!

third (best of all),

he lowered his voice

his sweet sweet voice

and whispered

"i love you."

and i swear,

i melted right there

on my pea green carpet

in my teacup room

with my pale pink jangly phone

held tight to my ear.
