If Someone Were Loved By Me
If someone were loved by me,
It’d be enough to go to a river to feed ducks breadcrumbs,
or drink tea together by a fireplace I(or an electric heater),
or share a blanket on a couch,
walk around a shopping mall to look at window displays,
or stare at pastries sitting behind a glass case at a bakery,
or look at old buildings, or go in a church to look around (I have yet to see the Vatican…),
or visit an animal shelter,
or have lunch purchased from the dollar menu (McDonald’s restaurants are actually fashionable in South Korea and China),
or read magazine articles together (like Time or the Economist),
or admire art at a gallery,
or spend time at a local library (Libraries in America are magnificent places to be),
or play a board game (like Scrabble),
or figure out how to turn a recipe into a meal (I hardly have any cooking skills but I am motivated to learn if I met someone I love enough to make something for),
or hold my favorite stuffed animal with me.
Don’t forget me and my favorite stuffed animal.
