Unplanned Valentine

We showed up on the wrong night
All dressed up and eager
To a dark and empty theater
How could we have confused the date
Speeding here not to be late
We looked at one another and laughed
I trusted you to get it right
But it wasn't entirely my fault
Had we missed the performance
Or was it still to come
You found the announcement on your phone
Two weeks from now
When we won't be home
So we had some time to kill
And that was the night
We first made love
As if the universe had reserved
Just the right space for us
We were bound to fill
