you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you
& the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land
& the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land
All clean(er), you rise up from your washing just in time for a bright crown of flowers to plop onto your head. Raising an eyebrow and pursing your lips, you nod approvingly at this turn of events. "I always wanted t'be a pretty princess." You look ridiculous with your grey hair and weathered skin and shock of florals, but you might as well lean into it you suppose. Besides, she looks spectacular, and seeing her smile is absolutely worth the little indignities you must endure.
You kiss her warmly, reaching around to pull her closer, hand splayed on her lower back. When you break away you're a little bit breathless, flushed and bright-eyed like a boy. "What now?" you murmur without any urgency, perfectly content to spend more time simply holding her to you. "Gods, your'e fuckin' beautiful."
