Cold

It was a cold morning
Just after dawn
Even a cup of coffee
Didn't stay warm long.

But you picked me up before breakfast,
And laughed at my layered clothes,
Offered a jacket and arm,
And for a long walk, we went on.

Up a small hill of colorful houses,
Down a lane lined with old benches,
Among Pine trees and fog,
Grass, wet from last night's dew;

The sun rose higher,
The morning went on,
And the jokes and the banter,
Started warming the scene,

By then I couldn't wait,
What went on in my mind,
Surely must be exclaimed!
And I said it, as he gazed into my eyes...

"I'm hungry."
