If I can, I want to spend the day outside with you and then go for ice cream with the smells of earth and strawberry custard tickling under my nose

Knuckles grazing as walk back to my car so we can drive back to my place to let sweaty limbs intermingle in thin sheets as kisses clash teeth to teeth

If I can, I want us to sit in my bay window sipping tea out of mismatched mugs looking at stars before the moon pops out in the bluesy black night sky

Knees knocked so close together as if we are supporting one another up with crowns of our heads exposed to ink black nigh of wonder and delight 

If I can, I want to lay my chest upon your back as hot water showers down on us and the bubbles of my soap shine iridescent from the overhead light

After we can wrap up in dryer warm towels deciding which parts of life we’ve enjoyed most with one another as a twinkle of memory dots our eyes

If I can, I want to sit beside you as we drive aimlessly down country roads with mountain air blowing our hair every which way but never in my sight of seeing you

Later to sit upon rocks above a tiny waterfall still cool from the slickness of our naked bodies but hot from the sun that so quickly dries us out 

If I can, I wish to love you for as long as the world allows me while being in moments of silence and brilliance that ebb and flow with no awkward force

To spend our days in ways that bring forth more curiosity and delight that enlighten me with the excitement of joy and longing
