Cliff House

We drive past the place
where she first said I love you.
Perched on a cliff by the sea.

The location has been closed
for a few years now,
but not in my reflections.
As we drive by, I take her hand
while drifting back to that day.

She smiles at me just then,
as the waves break with commotion
on the shore, and joins me here
in a memory I’ve saved
for all our tomorrows.

Hello, Wonderful Michael,
Of all the beautiful poetry you've written, this one is gold. I almost feel that by reading this, I am intruding on this most precious memory - but I am so honored that you shared it. You are amazing, and you are both so fortunate.
Blessings, for all the tomorrows!
