play this song while you read....
sometimes, i find myself daydreaming before bed.
it's like the prelude to my dreams,
setting myself up for what i really want to dream about.
last night, i started thinking.
about what i would do,
if you and i had a weekend away.
just the two of us.
it's probably not what you would expect
but the daydream looked a little like this.....
a cabin,
by the river.
in the middle of nowhere.
nowhere to go, nowhere to be.
no scheduling our day with plans of what we want to do or see.
no tv.
no internet.
no cell phones.
no noise from the outside world.
just an "old" land-line phone
so we can pray with our baby boy before bed.
watching the sunrise
or maybe sleeping in late.
a quiet breakfast on the porch.
a book in the hammock.
a long walk with camera in hand.
a picnic lunch with fishing poles.
an afternoon canoe ride.
cuddling up in a blanket by the fire at night.
laying in the grass, watching for shooting stars and satellites.
cooking dinner together,
trying something new.
even though that's not at all like me.
a glass of wine
bored games.
and staying up way too late.
lots of conversation.
stories of memories past.
dreams of the future.
laughing until we cry.
what i want is simple.
just the two of us.
just to be.
to hear our thoughts,
and the birds and crickets too.
i don't want much.
just to be.
alone,
you. and. me.
you. and. me.
