One day you’ll meet someone and everything will just make sense. Why every other relationship didn’t work out, why no one else was ever good enough, why you’ve always felt like something was missing. Why that one breakup didn’t hurt as bad as it should have and why you let that other one get to you way too much. Every piece you’ve ever wanted and every piece you didn’t even know you needed will suddenly be there and everything will feel like it’s finally coming together the way that it should. And there are so many people who have found this person who will read this and completely understand. So if this sounds fake, impossible, or unrealistic to you, it’s just because you’re not one of them yet.
I imagine us in bed late at night, snow falling outside our window as we huddle deeper into each other’s arms under the blankets. Soft kisses, quiet conversation. Everything is perfect.
You have no idea just how much I want to be with you all the time.
I want to hug you after you’ve had a long day and let you rest your head on my lap.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when you reach a point in a relationship where you know each other like the back of your hand, but, fuck, do I love the journey getting there. Like the awkward first time holding hands and kissing? Or their reaction when you use a new pet name? Or working up the courage to cuddle them? I don't know, there's something so beautiful about getting comfortable with someone
