3-Word Prompt: Beginnings, Quiescent, Champagne

My friend, my friend!

We arrived in unison

With strange beginnings:

You – full of self-loathing and

Me – full of champagne.

When your eyes met mine

I knew you were going to leave your

Mark on me forever

In myriad ways:

Some days it’s yellow and delightfully explosive and lovely

Others it’s black and deadly and torturous

Or

Red and passionate and terrifying.

But you’ve always been there

Even before you were.

And while our love for each other

Is now quiescent,

I know that it will burst forth

In another season.

Like a flower, it sleeps in the winter

And will bloom in the spring.

Perhaps hibernation is a good thing.

And I can’t wait to witness you

Crawl out of your cave.
