Sunny Day, July 22nd

 

darling, how could i forget us? how could i forget 

the way you regarded me so gently that sunny day, as if i were a 

rose, your rose. remember rose? blooming all around us that sweet 

smell of blue sky and flower garden and you hugging me so tight on a

picnic blanket, feeding me macarons in such a heart-melting, oh-

stop-it kind of way that im sure a mother blushed and turned her child 

away. confession: im such a child around you, but in the best way 

possible. you have me at my most innocent. on that sunny day in july, 

i was just a silly putty of love blown in a pink bubble, forgetting about

work, society, anything boring, anything not you. when the sun set, when 

we returned, i grabbed onto your arms and asked why couldn’t today 

last forever? you chuckled, ruffled my hair and promised we still have 

a billion more days to come. sunny days and rainy days, travel around the

world and do-nothing days. i fell asleep wondering what tomorrow

would be like, not that it mattered. i love all days, even the sad ones, 

as long as it’s with you.

darling, how could i forget us? how could i forget 

the way you regarded me so gently that sunny day, as if i were a 

rose, your rose. remember rose? i need more roses more roses  more

sweet smell of blue sky and flower garden and joints hugging me

on a picnic blanket, feeding me macarons in such a heart-skipping 

kind of way that im sure a mother blushed and turned her child 

away. confession: i want to crawl under your pale arms like a 

child searching for warmth. you have me at my most innocent. on that sunny 

july, i wanted to melt myself into a silly putty of love, forgetting about 

work, society, anything boring, anything not you. when the sun set, when 

we returned, i broke latching onto your arms begging for today to last 

forever. didn’t you chuckle? didn’t you ruffle my hair? didn’t you 

promise me forever? you chuckled, ruffled my hair and promised we still have 

a billion more days to come. sunny days and rainy days, travel around the

world and do-nothing days. then i fell asleep wondering what tomorrow

would be like, not that it mattered. i love all days, even the sad ones, 

as long as it’s with you.

child searching for warmth. you have me at my most innocent. on that sunny 

july, i wanted to melt my flesh into a silly putty of love, forgetting about 

work, society, anything boring, anything not you. when the sun set, when 

we returned, i broke your limbs latching onto, was begging for today

to last forever. didn’t you chuckle? didn’t you ruffle my hair? didn’t you 

promise me forever? you chuckled, ruffled my hair and promised we still have 

a billion more days to come. sunny days and rainy days, travel around the

world and do-nothing days. then i fell asleep wondering what tomorrow
