That's How I'd Imagine You and Me

This is how I'd imagine you and me — not in a grand hall with rose petals covering the floor. I'd imagine you and me lying on a maroon rug, where we can still feel the pointy end of the grass brushes our skin through the fluffy-like fabric. We are at the open, a park, somewhere unfamiliar, not home, maybe Vienna. I think it is fair since our definition of home lies elsewhere across the ocean. The clouds are in a perfect cushion shape against flaring baby blue sky. You'd wear your favorite Batman t-shirt and washed out jeans whilst I wear my black deer-print Summer dress right above the knee as I could feel the breeze sweeps through my thighs. It is the first day of Summer and we have not seen each other in flesh for over two seasons. As we lay down, We'd talk about space ships, car ships and medical capsule that should be invented by 2154 and would be the death of doctors and medical degree. Sometimes we'd argue, not in the sense of fighting, but just simply being in two opposite sides. Although, honestly, I secretly agree with you from the start, but I'd still stay on the other side of the road, just because I like the way when you look at me when you tell me I was wrong. There is this gush of sincere determination in your eyes that says I meant so much to you, you want me to be on your side. Then, when it feels like the everything move in motion as the sun turns orange-like at the tip of the horizon, you'd say, "I've got to film this." and you have your camera ready, while I was taking a mental picture of you, filming the world as it happen. For a moment, I'd forget everything that I have feared. I'd forget that after the sun set and the clock strikes ten, we have to go to different destination; I'd forget at the end of the day, we'd be gone in to the wilderness of uncertainties, apart, solely holding on to a display of cheap souvenir that recites fractured memories — Vienna and milkshake prose. Nonetheless, I'd say we'd stay bloom, in distance.


This is how I'd imagine you and me, if we were ever meant to be.
