Only You

He came in the middle of my class

to give me a single long-stemmed rose

thornfree

He called my best friends

threw me my first birthday party

unlimited sushi and karaoke

my first valentine,

pink

in the middle filet mignon

raspberry sorbet

that cleansed my pallet

wine and tiramisu topped

with a blockbuster night

He is the reason

I leave my cellphone

on vibrate 

and hold it in 

my hand

as I fall asleep.
