Hot pink embers
Blushing against a backdrop of pure white
Life emerges in places I didn't know existed before
Colors outside an open door
Finding new spaces and filling up my soul

Salt in my hair
Clouds in the air
Fruit in my wine
The way that you smiled
The day the bougainvillea bloomed

Seagulls laughing louder than everyone else at our table
Your hand meets mine
And just like that everything instantly changes
Is this where heaven and earth meet?
Have I found paradise, or is this one more dream?

Salt in my hair
Clouds in the air
Fruit in my wine
The way that you smiled
The day the bougainvillea bloomed

Draping, cascading, from your arms to mine
Jewel tones are sparkling in the daylight
Oh all the places we've yet to explore
You come and meet me at my parent's door

Salt in my hair
Clouds in the air
Fruit in my wine
The way that you smiled
The day the bougainvillea bloomed
