Early Retirement

I want to live in the country in a big hut. I want 2 big dogs and 2 small ones. Preferably a black labrador, a golden retriever and two terriers. I want a large kitchen, a comfortable living room, two bedrooms and a big, big backyard. I want to grow a guava, cherry and apple tree each. I also want to grow pretty rose bushes, those climbers with flowers which smell amazing at night and buttercup pots everywhere in the house. I want chicken and geese in my backyard. I want a few rabbits running about. Maybe even a small pond in the middle.

You know what's so amazing about this dream? It's very possible. My friend does it. I lived in that house. It even had a swimming pool few ten feet away. And that month was the most peaceful, amazing month of my life.

Morning after

I could violently shake off the cologne you wore to my place last night. I can wash off the kisses you planted between my breasts. If I tried, I'm quite sure I will get rid of the memory of your soft moans, the feel of chest against mine or how our legs were eternally entwined. But please teach me this. How do I shake off the leftovers of you? Like the way I feel your body pressed against mine even when you're miles away? The way you pull me closer when I'm the one who sways us back and forth? The sound of your relaxed breathing when we're asleep? Oh please tell me how to forget your eyes when they're saying you're in love with me.
