A Time …Once Upon
I’m finding myself imagining what our life should be like in a year.. living in Fells Point on the water, you walking Finn and me walking Lucy, and stopping to drink coffee.
And I thought of us going to the gym together and you in your sweatshirt with your hoody covering most of your face, on the elliptical asleep. I’ll be sneaking peeks at you trying to make eye contact. Then you open your eyes and look around for me.
And going to the farmers market and sampling homemade salsa that’s delicious and wine from a man that has no social skills.
Or I imagine waking up in your arms and we kiss then you bend me over and enter me from behind. And we drink coffee then you decide you need breakfast, pineapple upside down cake, or maybe bread pudding. And you bring me to ecstasy. And I’m drunk and dizzy from your love and kisses.
Then we may go to flea markets…or not. Or sit in front of the fire, not because its cold or winter, but just because. Music playing in the background, a balled or something of a man lost in his own soul.
And I feel your skin under my hands and it’s comforting.. something I never experienced before. My hands discover your body for the 100th time but to me it’s just like the first.
I imagine a life full of love, laughter, sex, arguments about opened curtains, fights, and you talking me through it and wanting to know.. deep inside me.. what triggered me. Then sex, and I ask you you to tell me a story about a time when I didn’t know you.
I feel myself falling more in love with a strong, brave man and his strength and his soul and his weaknesses.
These I imagine for me, and you in a time once upon.
Your one true love
