my lovely,

i'm thinking of you while in the garden. the trees shade the grass in tones of blue, and a bird overheard calls 'here, here, here,' or maybe 'hear, hear hear.' i look for it in the branches above, but cannot find it, so i only listen as i'm told to. the smell of sun-baked earth and the taste of lime on my lips are two of the most pleasant things i have ever experienced. they make me wonder about lovely things, like long walks through nowhere, grassy fields, and your kiss. i carry a book of Keats with me, even though i know every poem by heart. i'll speak the words out loud, and the rhythm mimics the breeze through the trees. it's as if the leaves are whispering too, and their breath is sweet and warm. today is a dream, and everything is moving at a slow and luxurious pace. i feel quiet and alone without you, but this hazy afternoon is somehow comforting like your arms. i'll sit under the big oak tree for a while, resting my back into the curve of the gnarled trunk, and just think about the sound of my breathing and everything else around me until i'm no longer part of my body. that way you aren't here and neither am i, and we are both just figments of thoughts and emotions. how beautiful and alluring that sounds.

i wish you were here.
S.L.
spring has come. <3

This is lovely, the sensory references are hugely evocative, I can taste that lime now...
