Hot Chocolates And Smiles

Missing image


Do you remember sitting in Assisi?
The bench was cold but we didn't complain
Hot chocolates and smiles kept us warm
And the breath-taking view left us... well, breathless
It definitely made it hard to have a conversation
No words seemed adequate compared to those hills

But - and I don't know if you feel the same -
There was something about the air,
Something about the whole situation
That made me feel that being there, with you,
Was the only place in the world I wanted to be

I mean, not in a romantic way, coz frankly, that's gross
And I don't mean any offence but I know you understand
Because you always seem to understand
A lot more than I can understand anything, especially myself
But being your friend has helped me to learn
That understanding yourself does not have to be a solo fight

And I know you're always hearing me talking
About how much I want to find love, to have someone to "be with"
But right there, for those one or two hours

(I really can't remember because that time with you was timeless)
I felt like it didn't matter, that you were all I needed
For that night, I was content

 

I remember walking out to that playground,

Joking around the slide and climbing things

Your laugh is one of the most magical noises;

The soundtrack to your face

 

It was honestly one of those times, those few times in life
When I realised, in full, just how lucky I was
To be alive, to be in Italy, and to have you as a friend

    And hot chocolate is the single best beverage on the planet.

    Wow, this is so awesome! A wonderful and heartfelt dedication that I am sure she will love to read over and over again. I love the imagery and setting that you wrote this in. Sometimes in life, we find someone who we just know is the right one for us. In that magical moment, we find ourselves so at ease and lost in conversation. The wind is always so tranquil and the world around you just seems to fade away instantly. It's times like these that we cherish and wish would last forever.

    I love these lines from you:

    "I remember walking out to that playground,
    Joking around the slide and climbing things
    Your laugh is one of the most magical noises;
    The soundtrack to your face

    It was honestly one of those times, those few times in life
    When I realised, in full, just how lucky I was
    To be alive, to be in Italy, and to have you as a friend"

    I really enjoyed reading this and wish you the best of luck with it in this contest. Good luck and thanks a lot for sharing it here! Keep up the wonderful work!
