Love Poem: The Man Behind the Shades

The Man Behind the Shades

The sun was shining 
In a hazy yellow light
On your polished profile
During an afternoon drive

And I couldn't help but stare
at the man behind the Shades
I never knew
How much we'd Love
As we met one lazy Sunday

I walked along the bar stools
Music playing in my head
and sat among the crowded room
To see Him across the way

I knew he'd be the One i'm with
So Happy in the sheets
Even today, it floats around 
In and out my head
That I could fall asleep each night
And wake, with him, in bed.
