good man

I have a very good man
who i think about dancing with
barefoot in my city apartment
four floors above the street below
back and forth on the creaky floorboards
pretty blue eyes holding my gaze
sturdy strong arms holding my waist
together we'll cradle the night
and rock each other to dreams
in the little world we have created

I have a very good man
who i think about walking with
in winter snow come november december
down dusty slick sidewalks
in the city that brought us together
mittens and scarves and hats on our heads
arms intertwined and a pace we perfected
inside jokes fog the air before us
and laughing keeps our mind off the cold
in the little world we have created

I have a very good man
who i think about driving places with
in a car neither of us own
to a place neither of us have ever been
with music humming, whistleing, swinging
through the speakers between us
the only thing between us
holding my hand from state to state
as we head down the highway
in the little world we have created

I have a very good man
who i think about being with
through summer and winter and spring into fall
growing older together and wiser
growing into ourselves
with conversation and understanding
adventure and determination
as we wax and wane through the cycles
life spins around us
in the little world we have created
