09 - "Close" (c) 2024 Kevin DeFeo
from the album "Southern Heart, Yankee Mouth"

Two young lovers at the movies
Lips locked together, Ignoring what's on screen
Their passion carries over
To his car in the lot, It's the closest that they've been

Things are getting hot and heavy
The stars above, Serve as the backdrop
They're about to take
That next huge step, When suddenly they stop

They were so close
Closer than they'd ever been
But didn't cross that line
Young love Is often reckless,
But they decide to wait until it's time

Two years later in a chapel
She's wearing white, Got that love glaze in their eyes
Exchanging vows and promises
Nervous and hopeful, For their wedded lives

Fanfare at the reception
That first dance, As husband and wife
A slow waltz, It's just a prelude
To the love that they'll share, Later on that night

They were so close
Closer than they'd ever been
Body, mind and soul entwined
So happy, Love consummated,
Pledged to each other for all time

Their love grows as the years roll by
It even seems to multiply
Through homes & kids & fun along the way
They wouldn't trade a single day

Decades later still together
Holding hands, There's an IV in his arm
Reminiscing about their blessings
Get interrupted by alarms

He slowly whispers
"I hear them calling, it's time I met my fate
Babe, Don't worry, I'll be patient
We learned young, Love is worth the wait

They were so close
Closer than they'd ever been
As the monitor flatlines
Tears for now
Someday she'll join him
And they'll stay close for all time

Someday she'll join him
They'll stay close for all time
