we were lovers on your father's back lawn. we'd been lying in bed and you'd said, let's do something, let's walk down the street naked, anything. and i'd said let's lie beneath the stars.

so we'd gathered blankets and pillows, even though we had enough warmth on our own in the wintry air. we were stark naked, all bare skin and love, and we lay out there under the stars for a long while. it began to rain and we let it rain on our skin.

i was cold and i curled up against your body, ever-warm and ever-mine. you kissed me, we kissed and i was lost. i took pictures with flash, i took pictures often with you.

when we went inside the rain was heavier. we lay on your bed and i took this.

so many beautiful moments.
