If this was my last day here on earth...

I'd spend it with you...
Happily....playfully on the beach with a strawberries,
blackberries, rasberries, wine, cheese...I could go on and on..but I won't. What I will say is
that I'd tell you the things that I didn't have the courage to tell you all the other times we spent together...

I'd tell you about the time that I meant to leave work early, but I didn't..I kept working even though we had plans..when I did finally leave the office I cried...at first it was the silent kind of crying...no sound just tears slowly running down my cheeks...so slowly
that it tickled as the tears fell. By the time I made it home I just sat in my drive way i was hysterically crying...

The funny thing is that I only cried because I was so in love with you. It wasn't really a sad cry really...it was just an overwhelming
outpour of what I felt inside.

Over dinner that night you had no idea...

Or the time that I awoke and watched you slowly breathe, eyes closed,
laying on your side, slightly curled...you slept like you'd never
slept before...even in your sleep I could see you still carried the
weight of the world on your shoulders...your mind still pacing through
your goals, dreams...the plans you had laid out ahead on a sturdy
foundation of intelligence, wit, guts and determination...I kissed you
slowly and touched you..when you woke I wanted you to realize that I
had taken half of the weight from you...

And you patiently listened to the secrets of my love for you...not
talking..just listening and eating the fruits I slowly hand fed you...

And I, nor you thought about what was to come at the end of this day...that didnt actually matter...what matter most was on my last day on earth I spent it with you....
