Things we love

An Abecedarian

Things we love

All the days, we became exactly, who we wanted to be

Butterfly kisses, bird songs, lightning bug lights

Clouds floating, in shapes, above our heads

Destinations unknown, journeys waiting, paths calling

Every one of our dreams, shining in the light, of a buttery yellow sun

Flights across blue skies, trips on winding roads, cruises over open waters

Gifts we gave every time, we felt the air buzz, with electric feelings

Hillside retreats, vacation rentals, beachside hotels

Intimate touches of our skin, mixing with the taste, of salt on our lips

Jumping through hoops, taking leaps of faith, soaring above the fray

Kindness in every corner, of the way our eyes look, back at each other

Love lasting forever, hope springing eternal, happiness being contagious

My everything spun around, your everything, spun around me

Ocean breezes, pina coladas, tropical islands

Naked moments, where we showed, everything

People we love, Times we cherish, Holidays we gather

Quiet spaces, where we said a million things, without saying a word

Reaching out, holding on, staying close

Sacrifices we made, when all we had, was each other

Todays we live for, yesterdays we cherish, tomorrows we believe in

U stealing glances at me, me stealing glances at you, us stealing us

Vacations in the sun, weekends in the city, getaways in the country

Watching moonlight, with our heads touching, under a blanket of stars

Xanadus, nobody dared to go to, beautiful horizons, scenic overlooks

Yin with Yang, the Tiger dancing with the Dragon, Heaven with Earth

Zen moments, where we didn't find questions, and lost the answers

    This was a great read, and you handled the letter constraints so well that parts just flowed together at times. “ Todays we live for, yesterdays we cherish, tomorrows we believe in” is my favourite line, and I liked the rhythm of the lines, as well as the way this relationship is portrayed ❤️ Well done!

    The last line summed it up completely. I see me in between every line here. So well said and still speaking after it is all said and done. Poetic and prophetic.

    All these moments are apart from the everyday, a homage to the elevation of time together I feel.
