My Thoughts Exactly

Staring out the kitchen window, I watch as two butterflies flit between the flowers, their colors are brilliant reflecting the morning sun creating a soft pastel glow as I sip my first cup of coffee of the day You are still asleep as I let my mind wander to the plans we have made for today, our special spot at the lake, a picnic lunch under the shade of the old maple tree I carved our initials in long ago, I even bought your favorite wine Driving to our destination, you singing along with the radio, the wind blowing through your dark brown hair, that beautiful smile enchanting me at every turn as I fall in love again a thousand times over We’ll relax allowing the day to pass by slowly, finding shapes in the fluffy clouds, skipping stones on the clear water, spending the hours sharing all of the beauty nature has to offer A more perfect day I can not envision, as you sneak up behind me and putting your arms around my waist, kiss me on neck then whisper in my ear, “I want you, can we just stay home today and play?” As I turn to face you I answer wearing a huge smile… “That’s exactly what I was thinking”
