A Picture Of Her

A Picture of You

There is a soft blue background, the beginning of the day, the sun is rising and there you are, standing in a field of wildflowers, green, purple, orange, and red, scattered all around you like a rainbow of colour.

Your soft brown hair is gently waving with the light breeze, your eyes are as bright as any star in the night sky could be, your teeth glisten white through the red lipstick on your lips and there is a smile that shines brightly but also conveys a sense of adventure and maybe the possibility of a little naughtiness.

You are wearing a light and soft white cotton dress, which shows that you are all woman, but also shows your control over what others may see.

You are standing there with a pair of sandals in one hand and a basket with breakfast in the other, you are ready to share your life, soul, mind, and body with the man that you love, and the one who adores you.

Your face, your body, everything about you, conveys a sense of peace and happiness. As you wait for your lover to come to you, you are thinking of the days ahead, what lies instore for you both, mapping out a future to share. What will this future hold, you may never know exactly, for a million things can change, intangible, unforeseen events, like the one that led you here, a chance post on a dating website.

You thought that you would meet someone from Europe, near where you lived, but it was a man from Australia that said hello. After many months of talking you were able to escape from the war torn area you had to survive in. Now you are safe, in love and free to be the woman you always dreamed of being.

As your mind was on the past, you look up and see, that from around the corner of the forest track he steps out and sees you there in the field, you see his face brighten and his smile has you weak at your knees,

You love him, of that you are sure, you are also sure he loves you. Why are you so sure of his love for you. It’s when you look into his eyes and you can see his truth, his devotion to you. It’s when you see his smile, it’s so very different to when he smiles at others, it is a smile just for you, his gentleness for you, his soft caress, it’s in his soft kisses and when he holds you, it seems that he envelopes you in his arms and you feel the comfort of safety

Now he walks up to you in the field of flowers, you see his smile and feel the warmth, you look into his eyes and see his soul and his truth, you feel his caress and his kisses, you feel his arms wrap around you, you drop the basket, you drop the sandals, and you wrap your arms around him.

As you let go of one another he picks up the basket and your sandals, spreads the blanket he brought and helps you fix the breakfast you had brought. After eating everything is packed away and you look at him with all of the love that you have.

He whispers in your ear, I love you my sweet angel, I will be here for you always. You close your eyes and sigh, for this is the picture of you, that you have always dreamed of. A map of life moving forward, a lifetime of love, that until now, has not been tangible, just a fleeting hope of what could be.
