THE SLAM . round one

Shameless.
My arms around his neck, inhibitions out the door.  Adrenaline isn't alone in my veins, no there's more than that but I didn't see him object.  Ok then, here we go.

Tonight.
Is a night I'll probably forget, but his name will never meet the same fate.  This story has been told a hundred times before, but I swear this image, I'll take it to my grave.

Your Hat.
It's on backwards and a grin to misbehave.  Your jeans rolled to your knees.  Was I even there?  Did I create this moment in my mind?  Chances are you just started and I'm waiting on the back nine.  I'll set up camp, come around when you please.

Forever.
Is that too strong of a word?  Not to Jesus.  Or when talking about Heaven.  My heaven?  A baseball game on a summer night.  St. Louis Cardinals (you know that's right!).  The whole way home, windows down, Penny and Me.

And that's what I see in your heart.
I don't even have to look hard.
Beauty; I am stricken.

Let's Do This.
God, ...I think I'm ready.
