Mess

Don’t get me wrong - I am all for cleanliness. But some things are better messy. Something dirty, something out of order is what makes it better and more beautiful, like morning hair, overgrown stubble on a man’s face, a girl with a sleepy eyes, like a red nose after a long session of crying, like a big plate of cheesy nachos.

the Recent Clean Sunday helped me to post this..
this is not about me.. its about a girl.. my "she" from She 'n' him!! :)
as generally,
*Cleanliness = Girls*
( Though there are some exceptions! :P :P )

as said above, all these things look beautiful and yes, her room. Usually it is spotless but not today. One curtain is carelessly open, the other is closed. They opened one because they needed to see the time on the wall clock in the wee morning hours, but left the other closed or else it would have been too bright. His jacket lays on the floor in one corner beside the bed, her gown lay on the other side. An empty bowl of ice cream they shared the night before is on the ground with the remnants of chocolate topping while an upside down open book is placed on the carpet near it - the news paper - they were reading together. Among these things are some used and unused Kleenexes scattered all over the carpet.

Then there is the bed - and the ruffled sheets where they lay their weary bodies wrapped around each other, the pillows out of place on which he puts his head and she puts her on his chest. The blanket half on the bed and half on the ground. They have developed a love-hate relationship with that one - can’t really seem to decide if they want it or not.

And what really makes her smile is the trail of various clothing articles leading up to that bed. These clothes on the floor, are her favorite part.

On the other side, she sees his watch on the mantel along with his old worn out wallet and his work ID card in which he looks so much younger than he is. The flowers he bought her are still in a glass of water because she couldn't find a vase to put them in, but they look so happy today - just like she does.

This room is a mess, and it has never looked more beautiful.
