Oddly reminiscent of time long past.
Warm breezes through open windows. Chewing tentatively on the cord to my headphones; lips flushed. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club flowing softly in one ear, while the nightly news floats into the other; meeting in the middle with a rather pleasant overlap. Soothing. The clinking of ice cubes in a glass; taste of sweet tea lingering on my tongue.
flash forward
Crackling fireplace; faint snowflakes being stirred in the little gusts of wind. A much loved friend rests her head in my lap, eyes fixed on the TV. Hands running through thick, curly hair giving comfort; while a bare foot is nuzzled under the warm belly of a snoring St. Bernard. Random breaks in time being asked questions I have no answers to, but say them anyway.
The feeling is the same. Home. Contentment. No judgments, just love.
Don't waste time wishing it was forever, just enjoy it while it's here. Snuggle closer, get high off the quiet. Spout off random philosophy, and dreams of the future. Nothing much is actually said, but nothing goes unspoken. Don't think about how your heart will break when you have to go. Don't, don't......just breathe.
