‘What does a romantic date look like, according to you?’
A question.
It was written on this tea bag.
A girl I know showed the text of the bag on her Instagram story.
‘A romantic date, what is that?’
Was her question.
She had put this question on her story.
‘Perhaps you should write it down’, I replied to her.
‘Yes, that is a good one..’, was her answer to me.
Not a joke, but a good idea for her to do.
In the meantime, I was thinking.
Why shouldn’t I do the same?
Not to take her place, but there is enough to write for everyone.
We are all poor and rich at the same time.
I will make sure for her to read this story first.
Not as an example, but as an honor.
For her to inspire me to write this story.
So, to answer that question.
What does a romantic date look like, according to you?
I believe, for me, it is to be in each other’s company.
To perhaps even not talk or not even do something specific.
To say, at least according to me, it is not as complicated as we think.
For me, it can be as simple as the following.
A walk in the park.
The sun on my face.
That view over the city.
The smell of autumn leaves.
A wine glass on the table.
The sound of the coffee machine.
A look in the eyes.
The touch of your hand, searching mine.
The kiss on my forehead.
The silence is what we keep.
The feeling of water, when it touches my skin.
