In The Book

For N. ~


In the book
Everything will be the same
Up until the part where
He goes to bed
Leaving us alone together.

In the book
Instead of a martini
At the corner bar
You'll suggest that we go
For a walk along the beach.

In the book
As we stand side by side
With our feet growing numb
In the Pacific Ocean
You'll kiss me tenderly.

In the book
I'll drive us to my home
With my bare sandy feet on the pedals
And you singing Spanish love songs
In the passenger seat.

In the book
We'll sleep woven together like vines
And when the sun wakes us up
We'll make love for breakfast
Before saying goodbye.

In the book
Everything will start the same
And it will end the same
But the story in between
Will be better.
