Our day at the beach was wonderful!
Though we didn’t manage to hit the sand until 3 in the afternoon – it was glorious. What looks to be the last of the good weather. In fact today is cool and rainy, with a low mist on the mountains. Not that beautiful blue you can see behind him/her in the picture, that’s for sure.
We listened to tunes, people watched and stole gropes and dirty touches under the towels.
If you haven’t heard of Dope Lemon, you should go and check them out on spotify – they are my newest band crush. They are on my Wreck Beach soundtrack.
At one point the Flaming Lips “Do you Realize” plays… and I look at my love and I’m filled up with the beauty of him. Inside and out. And I want to put the breaks on the passage of time and hold onto this moment. The realization of how quickly these past 4 years with her/him has gone by hits me hard. We ended our first date/night together on this beach. I sing along with the song to him.
“Do you realize… that you have the most beautiful face…”, as the song ends
And then my heart feel pinched and my throat constricts, and I feel overwhelmed with it all, my eyes filling with tears.
“I love you.” I squeak out, trying to keep my voice steady.
He kisses me softly, his lips warm from the sun, and I’m surrounded by the smell of his skin, the heat of the day making him smell delicious. We lay down together.
At one point he sits up and looks out into the crowd and the water gently hitting the sand. I can see myself in his sunglasses. I quickly get a picture. It ended up being the only picture of the entire day.
I’m glad I have it
