    ♥ The Stone Bench ♥
    "Why do we always end up here?"
    I thought, as we sat down
    At the same old bench
    For the millionth time.

    I thought about how we came here
    In a mid-may storm,
    My makeup washed away,
    And I heard you really laugh for the first time,
    So I smiled for the rest of the day.

    I thought about the first time I heard the words
    "I love you" slip off your lips,
    And how you swore we would make it work.
    My hair got messier than the words you couldn't say,
    And I saw you shut me out for the first time,
    But I kissed you anyway.

    "Why do we always end up here?"
    You ask, as we settle in
    At the same old bench
    For the millionth time.

    I smiled to myself,
    And I realized
    "It's just a really good place to sit."
