Chicken Sandwiches on a Sunday With You

First Love: Vacation

By Chloe EmannuellePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Chicken Sandwiches on a Sunday With You

Toasted buns, garlic mayo and French fries

The ocean view matches the color of your eyes

We woke up for lunch ‘cause we stayed in late

You sprinkle black pepper trails along my favorite white plates

There’s still a spot of lipstick nestled behind your ear

You smile that funny smile and I don’t see so clear

It’s eighty degrees and we drink hot chocolate

We both smile because we don’t have to leave yet.

The future beckon us from a known, but not too near date.

Will everything be the same when we're in different time zones, different states?

We're saying goodbye to everything but us. Part of me fears we're bound to naviete. In love we trust.

Tomorrow can wait another day...or two.

For now, I'll stay lost in the sunshine...that is, if you will too?
