Because of That

I see you every morning
as we wait at parade rest.
I watch you blow warm air through your horn
to keep it in tune.
I wonder what you are thinking
with your eyes to the ground, to your feet.
It's because of that.
I watch your eyes
as I bring my flag over your head
I smile as I pass
making my way to the thirty-yard line.
I wonder what you are thinking
as we cross paths on the field.
It's because of that.
I stand with you at attention
at tedious but exciting award ceremonies.
I sense you straightening your posture
proud of your performance.
I wonder what you are thinking
as the announcer begins to speak.
I sit with you on the bus
as we ride home from Lehi, Layton, Provo, Logan.
I feel your head resting on mine
the setting sun warming your upturned face.
I wonder what you are thinking
as Peter Pan plays in our ears.
It's because of that.

I love you
because of that.

-Field show competitions and best friends. Awesome combination.-
