We are students in a beginner's art class you and I We are both staring at the same bowl of fruit Aren't we using different brushes Love, we are using different paints Yes, we will fall in love In the possible futures we see in each other We will leave this class holding hands Carrying different paintings of the same fruit We will wake from naps on the same couch Remembering different dreams Make dinner arrangements Whisper different forevers to our friends behind I-think-she's-the-ones I-think-he's-the-ones We will say it loudly We will be proud of our luck to have found each other We will be so certain in the inevitability of us that we will tie blindfolds around each other's eyes Take ten paces Say, I love you And with complete confidence in the future our love is bringing We will walk towards each other Ten steps Twenty steps Thirty steps Reach out Take each other's hands Remove our blindfolds Color us confused To find ourselves in the arms of others Color ourselves surprised To be smiling
