C'est La Vie

Your head tilted back slightly to catch the sun’s rays
A flowing dress dotted with blue forget-me-nots
covered your dainty figure
I had heard your laugh before but this one was different
You turned with your curious eyes locked on mine
Asking to be let in my head
I shyly turned away though
and looked down at your pale slender fingers
Wondering if they had ever been used to wipe away a teardrop
A sigh escaped your lips and I felt myself being pulled down with you
We lay there with the blue sky draped across us
I stretched my hand out and you did the same
Somehow the idea seemed silly yet beautiful
I stole a glance to see that your eyes were half awake
The sunlight hit you in all the right places
And I realized I fell in love with your simplicity
