Vanity Love

Met the sweetest old couple in the grocery store today, and they told me about when they first met which was back in the 40's! Therefore I couldn't help but be inspired. :)

 Vanity Love 

I wake up happy to the point of no return 

I turn to my side to see you sleeping next to me

 Like a baby I wonder what you're dreaming about 

I make my way to my vanity, take a look in the mirror

My oh my is that girl so happy..... who is she?

 I apply my red nail polish, then all i can think about is when you said..

I should keep my finger nails long, only because when I scratch your back 

 you like the way it feels.

So I think about that summer of 49'

Driving fast in that baby blue truck of yours 

N I am just happy... I finally have you back 

My handsome fella a ruthless general 

Yet I know you're sweet as apple pie N I like my pie

As we make crazy turns like a roller coaster ride 

I'm saluting to you, my fella who makes red white N blue notorious

 You were laughing at me because I didn't know who Babe Ruth was

 N babe I'm ruthless because you're my baby oh yes you...

To be honest darling I don't know much about baseball

But i'll run the bases all night.... just for you 

You're finally waking up , my hairs curled,  and I am ready to start the day

So I wink at'cha in the mirror. 

That laugh is soothing ,ohhhhh even  the little birds outside our window agree

Today I am dolled up N wearing all black, black N black 

Today I'm paying my respects to a grave that will always haunt me. 

Ambiguous death of the girl who used to love, til her coca cola was all gone wrong 

Now I'm drinking fine wine N you're all mine... 

N With you I am truly appreciated

 I am no longer a Miss, I am your little Mrs. 

Author's Note
