Sweet memory

She puts on her coat as she walks out the door
Just an everyday trip to the grocery store.
Slips her hand in her pocket to retrieve her keys
Finds the receipt, memory weakens her knees...

Seated at a small bar, talking and laughing
Wrapped up in each other they don't notice time passing.
The plate in between them holds a decadent treat
Chocolate crepe topped with whipped cream, warm and sweet.
She takes a bite, murmurs, and closes her eyes
Rich creamy chocolate, a sensual surprise.
He smiles at her delight in the simplest pleasure
Sharing one more "first" with her, what a treasure.
They pause at a fountain of chocolate, hand in hand
Then they stroll the Bellagio, find a bar with a band....

She pulls her keys from her pocket and gets into the car
Recalling the events after they left that bar.
But those are memories for another day
She sighs, starts the car and drives away.
