When

When the silence is comfortable and the drive is long and the music hums softly in the stillness. When your oversized grey sweatshirt is fresh out of the dryer, the warmth hugging your body on a cold-ish California winter day. When a song takes you back to the most specific moment in time and you're levitating on a feeling that you can't quite place. When the plum you bite into is just ripe enough. When the hibiscus is in full bloom, each of the five petals curving out in perfect harmony, velvety red and passionate. When sarcasm is your love language. When you're daydreaming on the summer sand and walking through waterfalls with the sun on your back and a breeze in your hair. When you drown in the easy flow of a conversation with long lost friend, words gushing out like water rushing through a once-dried river. When you nestle under the pink paisley prints of your eighteen-year-old bedspread.
