My Favorite day was with you

By the seaside

Laid out on the warm sand, the hot sun baking our skin

The sound of the waves crashing on the shore

The sound of the gulls ringing in our ears

 

Later in the day we got ice cream

Me vanilla, you chocolate

Opposite, just like our personalities

That didn’t mean much though we got along like rhythm and blues

Following was sticky fingers, and sticky kisses

 

You picked a flower and tucked it behind my ears making me blush

Ever since, daisies have been my favorite flower

 

Ending the day, we took a stroll down the boardwalk

The sun was starting to set, pastel colors filling the sky

I felt so giddy from happiness I thought I would float up and join the colors

 

You picked up my hand and interlocked my fingers with yours soft yet strong making me feel invincible 

You put your arm around my shoulder making me feel safe and protected 

 

By now the moon was out, greeting us with a soft glow

Illuminating the waves that were gently lapping the shore

The stars were also out dancing and proud, reminding me how small we are

You pointed out your favorite constellation, Orion 

 

We sat at the edge of the boardwalk our feet dangling off the edge

You leaned over and whispered, “I love you”

That is my favorite day because that’s the day I fell in love with you too.
