Picnic

I slice the chicken meticulously
Add parmesan and just a little spice
Glance at the clock feeling slightly giddy
In one hour, you will be by my side!
Arranging our picnic like a puzzle
Pairing strawberries with lime Perrier
One umbrella -- in case of a drizzle
A basket prepared for a perfect day
Chocolate chip cookies out of the oven
Minutes before, I kissed the dough for luck!
Grateful for precious time you have given
To make this short, special trip just for us
I'm chopping up meat salted from my wounds
Knowing we won't picnic anytime soon
