shhhhhhhhhh.




I have to just tell you this.
Because,
I can now explain to you a simple moment.
A long day at work, and a long commute.
About thirty miles, fifteen minutes of traffic, making a fifty minute drive.
I'm feeling frustrated, anxious to be quiet and calm.
To him: "Rough day at work, cheer me up when I get there?"

...........

I pull into the driveway.
Hurry, fix your lipstick in the mirror, fluff my hair and spray on his favorite perfume.

...........

A tap on my car window,
and I look to my left to see him.
Wearing, head to toe, his Halloween costume.
I smile, and tears. Oh, the tears.
Streaming and xoxo,
I love that Luigi.
