I smile this same smile everyday as the light strikes you three from between the thick leaves that hang over you. The sun is falling and any description less than astounding when speaking on it would be shamed…though the leaves are thick, they’re thin enough to allow light to pass through, giving off a beautiful and seemingly new variant of the color green. The sound of a happy mother (you) and ecstatic children(ours) ,fade throughout the day and when night comes it’s never any trouble at all getting to sleep…the water politely slushing over the sand outside of our home & the moon glowing shyly as it watches over us. A secluded area between the ocean and a mountain miles away from society. A place we can call our own on this earth we share. Our little planet. A place where the rest of our lives will stay….we aren’t married, and I don’t have a ring but the promise you gave to me was the greatest of all. Something that will never get old, something I will never forget, something I will always cherish…this feeling you give me, the beautiful children we have, and waking to perfection. Every morning I can feel you breathing.my head will raise and I’m awake…but I don’t move because I’m afraid I’ll wake you. So I decide to stay and enjoy this moment over and over, every morning because nothing ever gets old with you…my head on your chest as your arms rest around my neck and your legs wrapped around my back…and only when you run your hand over my head do i open my eyes. I see the sand through the open door which means the munchkins are out playing…pink it looks almost but only when the sun kisses the water from over a strip of land out in the ocean that looks so close you could grab it. I can also see our children splashing but only that. Silhouettes of what we brought into this world. their shadows seem to reach just before the bed because of how low the sunrise was at this point and I touched the floor where my sons hand would have been if only this shadow weren’t a product of trick of light and in that moment. I could see and feel everything that we are and have been. I’ve loved you, I love you and I will love you, just as you make me feel…endless…so endlessly.
