Sunday afternoon,
July 6, 2008
If I had written this earlier, I could have written this as “Sunday morning,” and started with Maroon 5 lyrics. ‘Cause well… I really like that song and it’s my guilty pleasure. I used to listen to this when I would get home from Devin’s on a Sunday morning as I was showering or making breakfast.
“ Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to youThat may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leaveFingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it endsThat may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leaveBut things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I’m calling out to you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to youAnd you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning”
Yeah. Corny. Terribly corny. Though not all of it applies, the major points do. But yet… If I could create the perfect song about Sunday afternoons, it might happen to be about today.
Spending my morning driving through beaches and fishing piers, spending time in a place, one city over that seems so far away from everything back home. Surrounding and throwing myself into crowds of people I do not know, nor understand, and inevitably head home, feeling fulfilled and full. xD
Okay maybe I wouldn’t, but today was pretty cool. And now I’m baking a Lemon cake with Vanilla frosting for Park Jam.
S.A. – You’re simple. Relaxing (sometimes), and can play the perfect lead into a hectic week. And this coming week will be most crazy. I need to clean and start packing for Alameda/Santa Rosa. Debate if I’m bringing my computer, because while I would love to bring it, it is becoming quite the hassle, (but I’m bringing 5 days worth of stuff, plus all my rinses for my mouth situation).
I’m getting off track… This is about you. I go from Sunday morning, usually tired – hungover – exhausted at church to the time when I can pass out on the couch, or go out to try and escape the heat. I’m given a few hours to myself before meetings, kickbacks, or family dinners, and it’s quite nice to have that time and luxury. Once I get a job, I’ll lose that.
For now, I’ll enjoy you and not take you for granted as I did before.
Thankful for the breeze,
Kayla
