You, me, the sky and the sea

Summer is such a great time for everyone. Skin gets darker, our hair gets lighter, the sea gets warmer, nature is at its best; and so are we. Feeling happy and being blissful, though, is not just a matter of what season we are in, generally speaking.

Nevertheless, summer and you is more than enough to make me feel not just happy, but better than ever.

I’ve been dreaming about this time of the year for so many months. It was still wintertime and I was dreaming about you and me chilling together at the beach, thinking about nothing else; nothing existing outside the two of us. Away from the anxiety of everyday life. Just me, you the sea and the sky. This thought helped me to get through the toughest days – just to see this daydream in my mind come true.

I always thought it would be great – but it is one of those rare times in life when reality is better than the imagination. And that’s a real blessing. This feeling I get when I’m with you is so deep, so strong. But this combination of the beauty and the wildness of nature, the feeling of absolute freedom – and you bringing about feelings I’m not even sure I can describe.

Our bodies just lying there the one next to the other, our skin wet from the sea, getting hot and warm from the sun, the sand all over our skin and us laughing, playing, touching each other, analyzing the meaning of life with a beer in our hand. Or just you, telling me how beautiful I am with the sunlight on my face, and how much you enjoy the salty taste of my lips when I come out of the sea.

All these things make me think that I could spend the rest of my life on this beach with you. Just watching you become hotter and hotter as your skin gets darker, holding your hand and walking on the wet sand, keeping the beautiful shells that you keep collecting for me and enjoying the sunset in your arms every day. And, most of all, telling you how much I love you and how happy you make me.

With you the most simple things become exciting; a game, a smile, a touch. This time of the year those things become something more than that even. All these things become magical. This picture is like coming out of a dream. The joy and the freedom, the understanding of the important things in life, and the only feelings that we are able to feel are love and passion.

Passion about living the moment, passionate about everything we do, passionate about making each other happy, and most importantly, passion for each other.

It’s not like I don’t feel like that throughout the rest of the year –of course, I do– but here where there is only you, me the sea and the sky everything are so intense, so breathtaking, so mesmerizing; it’s like I’m drunk all the time. And I’m drunk from the beauty of nature all around us, from you – from our love.

From your love. The way you love me makes me feel full. The way you make me feel so relaxed, so happy, your patience with all my craziness, your talent to always find the best of me, and keep it on the surface; all this love, the sun – all the summer you are giving me. I’m sure it will keep me warm even on the coldest days that will come.

Because no matter what, I will always remember the days we spent together on the beach, dancing to the sound of the waves, the sparkle in your eyes, the beauty of your smile, and all that will be my summer forever.
