Hopes

Your sweetness permeates my soul,

Like a monsoon rain, does a barren valley.

I can't help but notice the petrichor,

And I'm instantly transported to the feeling of "home"

I take you in, like I'm enjoying this experience for the very first time, every time.

I don't ever want to miss a moment, so I try my best to not blink.

I could soak in your radiance for endless days, and still crave more-

It seems, you bring out the best in me.

I love myself when I'm with you; I feel the most authentic.

It's like hiding my quirks is no longer an option- you simply love my weird, and I want to share it with you. 

There is a list of endless memories I want to create with you, so let me list a few: 

I want to dance in a rainstorm, barefoot on the asphalt, on a hot summer day with you.

I want to experience the mundane of traveling with you- something as simple as falling asleep on your shoulder on a plane... While, simultaneously seeing the world.

I want to take a roadtrip with you, and get lost because we were singing out hearts out to early 2000s music and getting caught up in lyrics and laughter.

I want to kiss you on a train, in a city, and feel the people around us melt away, because in that moment all I feel is you.

I want to take you to Flekkefjord and show you where the mountains meet the sea. I'll take your hand and walk you to the edge, to show you just how beautiful you truly are, with your reflection.

I want to pick sunflowers with you in the spring and apples with you in the fall.

I want you to meet my dad, my brother, and my step-mom - I'm sure you'd win them over instantly with your charm and pure heart.

I want to cook for you, and take care of you, in all of the ways your heart desires... and then some. 

The list goes on, but I'll hold other hopes close. 

So for now, I'll bask in the moment, and be open to whatever may come our way.
