when you have to make a hard decision, flip a coin
why?
because when that coin is in the air...
you suddenly know what you're hoping for.

"I tell you not to be distracted by thoughts of me yet here I am…distracted by thoughts of you" -Conway

Sunlight showered down like glitter and basked us in a wonderful warmth. Comfortable and relaxed, we let our smiles play out in the field while we sat on the grass and counted clouds. They floated carelessly across the light, blue dome and refreshed our souls as we watched them ever so slightly respond to the wind's whispers. And even then, my heart would flutter while you were close. This simple bliss. Time had fallen asleep that day.

I followed the footprints that you left trailing behind you. And periodically the waves would reach us and tickle our feet. Nothing between us and the sky, I looked in awe how the sun had set his home on fire. My blood pulsed through me as I ran into the ocean, and you suddenly picked me up from behind and swung me around. Screams of delight. We yelled our wishes across the ocean hoping the water god would hear them on his throne on the horizon. Our laughter echoed, resonating off the cliff's walls and lonely railroad tracks behind us. This breathless emotion. Where was Time to watch us?

You held my hand as we walked along in the dark. The ivory moon cast her soft light and helped us on our way back. We observed the stars shining vividly and the colored mesh above us melting magnificent, bold colors into one another . We could see the Milky Way. Maybe today was the day when the two lovers in the sky could cross the Silvery River of Heaven and meet each other at last: a happy thought from a sad story of fate. A blanket of gentle heat enveloped us, but I felt more keenly your warmth burn the senses on my skin. This glowing feeling in my heart, how was I going to contain it?

The rain poured down on us. Arizona rain. Sitting on the stairs of the playground, we watched the storm clouds flash with lightning and heard them boom across the sky. The music from the water calmed me down while you held me close hugging my waist. So close... And then you stole me away. In between slow, sweet kisses, my breath ran away from me.  My fingers traced the gaps between yours, but you soon completed them with mine. And there we quietly hid from the world under one umbrella. Ah this beautiful rapture. I became scared that Time would take you away.

But until then. Each day. I ask. That you be with me.
