IF YOU'RE A BIRD....I'M A BIRD

Daily Prompt: Silver Screen

Take a quote from your favorite movie — there’s the title of your post. Now, write!

There is no way I can actually pick a favorite movie and therefore no way I can pick a  favorite quote but the film that came to mind first was The Notebook.  This movie has so many amazing quotes to inspire the romantic spark in everybody.  LOL get it? Sparks?  Nicholas Sparks?  Anyway, the above title is a good quote and here are a few more I love from the same movie.

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”

“We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it.”

“You are, and always have been, my dream.”

“My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away.”

And finally this is the quote that inspired my poem:

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”

I grew up holding your hand

Skipping along the beach front

Along warm morning sand

We laughed at the world

At the silly friendship we had

Me in my endless sundresses

And my giant floppy hats

You in rolled up jeans

And skin tight V-neck Tees

Each summer we met

Exactly the same way

Me on the pier gazing at the sea

You sneaking up with devilish plans

You grab my hand and we jump

Neither of us a care in the world

Each of us content completely carefree

And so it went each year the same

The laughter, the smiles

Each year our fondness grew

And I knew I was in love with you

One summer we shared our first kiss

Then last summer we .  .  .

I went home pregnant that year

Didn’t tell anyone it was you my dear

I didn’t tell my parents out of fear

That I would never again visit our pier

Summer came again, I waited for you

But God had different plans instead

He must have known last summer

Would be our last spent together

And although your life was tragically taken

I stand on this pier looking out at the waves

Holding on to the future of us

The baby with your eyes and your smile

The child that will one day play in the sand

With another little girl with silly floppy hats

With a hand just the right size to fit his own

Someday they will jump into the subtle waves

Content with their own destiny
