Chablis

I raise my hand in a toast to you and me

Chablis

A private moment

Acknowledging fluidity

My tendency to be overly sentimental

Sweet, often wearing my heart on my sleeve

Pairs well with your persona

Sophisticated; sickly sweet, you are not

Albeit, I once thought your humor was a bit dry

Then I got to know you

Chablis

♥︎

Now I see you are a loyal friend

Pure intentions; crisp, clean, calm, and collected

You work the room with your class

Never boisterous outright laughter; subtlety

Guaranteed smiles all around

Even if only internalized

Because some of the greatest moments are personal

Thank you, I must, for indulging me

My friend

Chablis

♥︎

So much is expected of me

My aim is to please encourages presumption

You assume no pressure

Holding to a white grape's standard

No, instead, you absorb and reflect

Burgundy's terroir

What a beautiful sentiment that is

To reach and grow, remaining constant

My dear

Chablis

♥︎

You keep me grounded

Knowing your citrus essence delights

Swirling pear and vanilla perfumes

Refreshing, not pungeant

Laid back yet with an ultra-fine command

I will follow your lead simply being me

Extra isn't necessary; I am more than enough

Our auras are equivalent; matching green-yellow hues

Self-love, no matter the surroundings

♥︎

From one who creates herself to another

I hold my glass

Toasting you; toasting us

Our fluidity

My dearest, Chablis
