I'll dream we're sitting in the river, next to the edge of the bank. the water is shallow enough our knees peak above the water. we'll be talking and laughing and singing along to music. we won't be thinking about our ex partners or about our parents and their expectations, their disapproval. all we'll be thinking about is how pretty the other looks when the sun hits our scrunched up noses, head thrown back in great big laughter. I'll think about your shoulders, and how badly i wish to kiss them, and you'll think about the freckle on my neck. I ask your favorite color and you say blue, and all i can think about is how perfect blue and yellow look side by side. one of my favorite songs comes on and i feel a little panic, ask you not to judge me based off the song because you should, probably. i trace lines on your legs and you watch my fingers. you look to the side and i can't help but stare at you as you look at the nature surrounding us. you catch me staring and blush cuz you hate being looked at. but you have no idea how gorgeous you are, or how lucky i feel to share this moment with you. and in my dream this afternoon lasts for an eternity, no one and nothing can end it.
i hope i never wake from this blissful, intoxicating dream... but i can't keep you and it's breaking my heart.
