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”
