We Could Read Under Trees
We could read under trees, I read to you, you read to me.
Literature, essays, poetry and prose.
Stuff from Shakespeare to Hemingway to Angelou to Poe.
We could read in pure daylight or with flashlights under stars.
We could write the way up to the Moon and Mars.
We'd "...fall in love the way you fall asleep - slowly and then all at once..."
Until we're pulled in by our dreams
And you and I will be inseparable
And it will be unconditional
And we'll have a love like Augustus and Hazel Grace
Minus the cancer
And we'd live our lives
Happily ever after
It would be like a Nicholas Sparks novel come true
You and me, me and you
We could write cute notes in our books
We could write cute stories outside the books
But most of all, we'd fall from pages
Taking our love through all the stages of literature
This is how our love will be
Like a fairytale, told through literacy.
