My favorite Day by Kalie Minifield

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.
