A Kingdom Just For Two by Lori Yamamoto

### Part I: The Seed (The Morning) Good morning, my love,   the day is young and bright.   Coffee too strong,   dishes undone, but it’s alright.   ### Part II: The First Unfolding (The Daily Ritual) Good morning, my love,   the day is young and bright:   My crown’s a messy bun,   my robe, a worn-out tee.   You look at me like I’m royalty.   We conquer the mail,   the pile of books on the floor,   And somehow, that feels like so much more.   ### Part III: The Second Unfolding (The Kingdom) Your words dance like a breeze,   soft and familiar, at ease.   You tell me of your day,   with a kind of nervous grace.   We laugh at tired jokes,   only we know, they never fade.   Sunlight on the dust,   as shadows softly grow.   I’m not brave, you’re not so strong,   but together, we belong.   ### Part IV: The Convergence (The Quiet Moments) In quiet moments,   when the world is fast asleep,   Your love is a secret,   I’ll forever keep.   No grand declarations,   no golden, shining light,   Just you and me, together,   in the darkness of the night.   ### Part V: The Coda (The Enduring Love) Here’s to mornings,   a mess and a new,   With you, my love,   a kingdom just for two.   You and me, forever,   yes, just me and you.
