Those nagging times
Would never end
Happily ever after
Seems only for the dead.

Ceaseless picking
At harmless habits
Can tie your feelings
Into complex knots

Amidst Dull routines
And ebbing Romance.
Nonsense squabbles.
Start running amok.

But once in a while
Smiling in her sleep
She snuggles up to you
And Melts your heart.

In love again,
You close your eyes
And hold her close
Till the morning light.
