***

smooth wood,

flowing, flowery dresses, 

that ripple and rise 

like blooming flowers

on a hot summers day.

children run with 

sticky mouths,

watermelon hands

and the melodic laughter and squeals that rise 

like the hot air,

that grazes the flushed cheeks 

of a young teenage couple. 

they hold hands and smile innocent, loving smiles

the secretive, happy smiles. 

they look down at the children

that scream in delight

as a scruffy dog shakes pool water from its fur

they smile at each other like they are their own children

laughing and holding hands

like an old married couple

the girl wears a dark blue cable knit sweater

over her flowy magenta dress

it's too big to be hers; it falls past her waist

smooth and soft material

that curled over her hands like mittens

he takes one hand in his

and covers it over his mouth

she blushes faintly as he gives her a kiss

smiling on the back of her hand.

for a second

it's just them: 

two teenagers, 

in their own world

hopelessly in love,

before a child screams in delight, 

pointing at their intertwined hands.

his face scrunches in confusion and fear.  

be careful! it's cooties. she's got cooties.

he laughs in delight and kisses her hand again. 

the little boy turns and runs off laughing

as the girl turns up to look

and the handsome, grinning boy before her. 

you're hopeless. 

she laughs, shaking her head. 

he grins down; an adorable grin that shows dimples and sparkles in his eyes. 

maybe i'm just hopelessly in love with you.
