all in a day

My Perfect Day:
We would go to my favorite spot, the one nobody really knows about. I would wear an airy floral dress and you might wear dark khaki colored shorts and a plain white T-shirt. Of course we’d both wear our ridiculously oversized sunglasses and SPF of at least 45. It would be sunny and warm; the sky would be a very deep blue with enough clouds so that we could lay back and figure out their shapes while we watch them move above us. I would make a picnic of your favorite sandwiches and fruit salad with homemade iced tea. We would fly kites and talk about the wonders of God and Love. We would ponder the “what ifs” in life while figuring out our next big move. I would hum while I listened to you play your guitar. When we become tired we would read our favorite books on a blanket. Mine would be ‘To Have and Have Not’ by Hemingway, or some poetry by Edgar Allan Poe. We’d sleep in each other’s arms under the shade of a giant leafy tree. We’d dream big dreams. We’d be safe, and out of harm’s reach. All the while, we’d smile a simple smile. The sun would set turning the sky the colors of peaches and coral. The moon would be full and the stars bright. My wish would be for you.
