days like this.

give me a day like this. the ones in our favorite photographs. the ones where we were happy, and young, and invicible. give me a day like this. the ones where we shine. our cheeks stretched from laughing. our eyes glowing with something rare. you can't capture it. you can't take it away. this can't be repeated simply on desire alone. days like this can't be wished for. they just happen. they happen, and in a fleeting moment they are gone. quick as the setting sun. a brief moment of clarity in the midst of our chaotic world. beauty that is remembered. only, remembered. always, remembered.

give me a day like this. i will not let go of you. i will hold you. together we can imprint this feeling on hearts and on hands. burn this memory in your mind. take a snapshot. when time has passed and love has faded, it will spark again what we felt here. on a day like this. the sun doesn't have to shine. the wind can blow. the world around us can feel dreary and out of control. it doesn't matter. we are alone, here in a moment that pays no attention to time or atmosphere. there are no rules. there are no boundaries. only the desire to feel, to live, to experience. here it's not too late. other days fade away, but this will never feel the same.

one singular lifetime, made up of an expanse of days, stretched out to configure a set of goals or relationships or experiences. thousands upon thousands of, days. and how many are days like this. the days you want to carefully pluck out of a timeline, to place in a little box, to be kept forever. to be opened again when you need a reminder of what it feels like to be wanted. a reminder of what it feels like to belong. a reminder of what it's like to forget everything else in the world and simply, be.

give me a day like this. show me again what it's like not to be alone. what it's like to feel loved and appreciated. give me the carefree attitude of a child, and the innocence and curiousity that accompanies it. give me a day like this. where being who i am is enough. surrounded by the ones who love me - raw and exposed. with truth and sincerity. give me a day like this. i want to float away for a moment, float on to something beyond the mundane. float on simplicity and dance on the natural, stripped from frills and falsehoods.

give me a day like this. i just want to be sure of you. come with me?
