my hand on your cheek

my head on your shoulder

my body pressed against yours

hearing your heartbeat in my ears

seeing the corner of your eyes crinkle when you laugh

and your face lighting up when you smile

taylor swift karaoke sessions

coffee dates even though i don’t even like coffee that much

3am conversations even when we’re supposed to be sleeping because we have work in a few hours

netflix movie marathons

road trips because our adult responsibilities have nothing on our longing for adventure

visits to faraway cities

matching wedding rings

waking up next to you

my hyphenated name

moving into a new house

building IKEA furniture horribly wrong because apparently we can’t follow directions

getting our first dog

waltzes in the kitchen

spontaneous dinner dates

seeing the first grey in your hair and loving every strand

looking over at you as you work away at your desk

and falling in love all over with you again

because you are and always will be

my best friend and my confidant

but most of all

my love

love poems
