The lights brighten my eyes
The clatter of balls hitting the bowls
To get a fish
To be named
And taken in as family
Racing for ice cream
Bustling through the children
Despite feeling like a child myself
Unable to help my creeping smile
Etch onto my face
As I feel tickled with the floss
Currently pink all over my lips
The butterflies
Spilling out of my stomach
As I stare into his eyes
As he watches me
As I tuck the strand of hair
That so desperately wants to leave me
To join him
He has taken me in
But he does not yet know
That I was always
And forever
His
