Sitting in front of this Mozzarella bar

Only one thing comes to mind

my time in Italy with you

on the coast of Amalfi

the sun reflecting on your smooth skin

your beautiful blush

warm from the afternoon sun

what a perfect complement

to my plate

Mozzarella and you

my sweet tomato

Oh what a beautiful salad we could make

together
