TIRAMISU

You call and tell me to leave in a hurry,

But when we meet it's you who's worrying

If someone sees,

Your hands in my hands.

We take our designated seats in your car,

Tell me you really can't go that far,

And then you comb your hair,

As I pray everything goes as planned.

Going through the dessert menu,

I ask about your diet, you don't want to continue

You want that chocolate cheesecake,

But I know you'll find it bland.

For what it's worth, I will ask

And I hope the message comes through

"Do you want some of my tiramisu?"

Delight at the sounds of touching spoons,

I cough out a laugh at the way you swoon,

You punch and tell me

I better take a picture.

It's almost over before we know it,

We like each other more than we'd like to admit,

Our day becomes night

I ask for another fixture.

We both part ways, and by the way

I counted the steps as you walked away.

Text me as soon as you get home

Jesus, who wrote this scripture?

For what it's worth, I keep on asking

Read between the lines and know that I miss you,

"Did you like my tiramisu?"
