Heart-Shaped Box of Chocolate

 

I will wake up,
When you wake me up,
Telling me you have a sudden craving
For caramel filled chocolate.
So at 3 am I drive to the only open market,
And buy a heart-shaped box of chocolate,
And a second one,
Just in case.
At 6 months along
You are showing
But remain beautiful, like lily fields in summer.
I cannot stop
This systolic emotion,
And I often crave
The palpitation of our commitment.
It is untamed and sometimes
Suffers fibrillation.
At times we must shock our bonds,
To strengthen the veins between us.
If we were locked
In a four chamber cell,
I would not ask to be with anyone else.
Buying a heart shaped box of chocolate at 3 am
Has never made me happier.

This is a gorgeously caring poem! Just what I like to see in a couple about to become a family. You don't get anything for nothing in this world and a new human being will take a lot from the mother, unless the father makes sure she is well looked after. You sound like you are doing or did a great job, the heart shaped chocolates are such a sweet (excuse the pun) symbol of your love together. Smiling at you, Tai
