well sometimes ill glance at the moon
and ill think of how things could be better
when they arent but ill picture your face
on the postcard picture you sent me,from
wherever you went last year, frowning is impossible
your face was a glorious gold, from the tan you got
so it must have been somewhere nice, and your hair
was a light brown that my fingers hand-combed the saturday
one week from the friday we met...i remember perfectly..
some beach party i believe, everyone was wasted (except for me i thought)
i decided to go for a walk up to the rock where the view was the best
place to see all the stars, and sunset, and the other side of the lake
all at the same time
when i got there, i sat there just staring thinking about how
someone who i could hold and stay warm with would complete the night
and starring at all my friends wasted, dancing around the fire
(me thinking about how much 'fun' it was going to be to escort
a good number of them to my place to crash and sleep the night off)
and i heard a voice form behind me..it was you..standing there
in your favorite sweater, my personal favorite of yours, and your
jeans with the whole in the knee (another under the left back pocket)
"mind if i join, it's getting crazy down there, i thought i was
the only sober one here tonight"
shocked when i first looked, i realize that i wasnt alone for once,
studdered out " yeah, i thought i was alone too" so i slid over to make room
on the rock, which was already gigantic but not knowing how close you wanted
to be, i kept my distance. while we sat i started to notice that that
everytime you spoke, i would just stare in your eyes and and smile like
i had never seen anything more beautiful...i very well couldnt have and still might
have never seen prettier. i also noticed you looking out of the
corner of your eyes when it was silient and moving closer and closer.
feeling a little comfortable now that we had been talking so i asked you
if you were cold and offered you my jacket.
the wind had started blowing, more like a breeze i suppose,anyway, i offered
you excepted, smiling like you felt warm already, so i smiled, and took off
my jacket and placed it over your shoulders. you smiled bigger and burried yourself
in my arms. the sun was set by midnight but you could still see the purple and
orange left in the sky from the delayed time that light travling through space
makes
(note: when you see stars, they are the image of past stars that could have very well already combusted and are no longer)
anyway, by 3am when the fire had died and you were half asleep in my arms, we decided
that it was time to get up and take our drunken friends home. we exchanged number
we exchanged hugs...took our friends to our cars and said good bye....
but while you were backing out, i ran over to your car and knocked on your window
and said " i almost forgot.." and leaned in through your window..gently, i kissed
your lips as softly as i never thought i could. you kissed back which almost came
as a surprise but a comforting one. you drove off and waved and smiled. soi left
and drove the soon to be AA members home to my place for some coffee and a night of
rest and relaxation, not to be confused with the hangover scheduled for tomorrow
morning. i didnt sleep, not quite as well. i layed and thought of you and your eyes
your smile, your hair, your lips...etc. the list goes on for a while.
then you called..5:30 am...just to say " we on for tomorrow, i cant sleep
without knowing" i melted and said "when ever you want to do something, im open"
and then you said the best thing ive ever heard ever...
"how about right now? and then when we wake up we can go get breakfast"
