It is where they found happiness

 

 

There wasn’t much space between his world and hers

 

He made breads and pastries

and spread frosting with a gentle touch

 

She curled hair - added highlights

applying tints with precision  

 

The space between their dreams

was just enough for a table and chairs

 

They danced in conversation

and tip-toed through their past

 

Both lives were balanced at the edge

without tablecloths or candles

 

and no cushion to speak of
