Drabble #55 – I'mma give you chills
harmonizing to Otis, Isley, Marvin.
I am stopping to smell the flowers today and you are only ever
kissed by men with shadowed eyes. We do not go to the market on
cloudless days; the citrus is cheaper when it rains. I count
coins, you count street corners, and we wonder how we managed
to get here. I believe we are both slowly growing roots,
despite the fact that nothing, not even our clothes, has ever
fit us quite right. As always, we won’t leave until we
have to, until you fall too quickly and scare yourself out of
the memories you’ve made. It never fails to amaze me how
recklessly naïve you live yet how astoundingly shy you
become when faced with commitment. But that’s okay, I do
not question you. Today we are getting ice cream on the pier
and I know that, for now, this is enough.
