cabernet sauvignon

what did i hear you say

that night we polished off that cabernet

the one that loosened your tongue

just long enough for you to say “you’re the one”

still hear the pop of that cork

when you cupped my chin and called me “dork”

cracking a bottle that cracked open my heart

that was a good start wasn’t it my love

falling for each other so damn quick

didn’t even take one whole vintage

now here we are

many bottles in

playing out the days and nights again and again

wouldn’t have it any other way

how we prune and train ourselves every day

sometimes I’m the trellis and you’re the vine

and the other way around works just fine

hold me baby

swirl me until I offer it all up

take me on a flower day

my lips to your cup
