Quiet Rainy Day.

picture us baking pumpkin cookies, while watching Halloween movies. then we're wrapped up in a blanket watching a horror movie marathon, eating takeout. the house smells like apple spice and autumn... doesn't that sound perfect.

if you were truly a bad person, you wouldn’t be so hung up on the morality of your mistakes. the fact that you want to go back and make it right means you’re growing from this and you’ll try to do better next time.

leaving lipstick stains on the brim of her coffee cup. walking around in an art museum with her. listening to her passionate banters about greek sculptures. she paints me while i read amrita pritam to her. and i leave tiny notes containing romantic poetry , stamped with my lipstick stain, on her bedside table. whispering i love you's in libraries. going on dates in bookstores. lying in her lap while reading our favourite books. planting tiny kisses on her forehead, on her cheek when she least expects it.

literally like 95% of girls have stretch marks on their body and if you’re going to give them a hard time about them then you didn’t deserve to see her body in the first place

i want to hold hands with you when we walk to the grocery store.

i want to rest my head on your shoulder while we binge watch true crime docs on netflix.

i want us to lie in bed, in a tangle of limbs, as I read a book and you play chess on your tablet.

i want to make song requests as i meal prep, while you mess around with your ukulele and act as my personal juke box.

all i want, is to simple be with you.

an ordinary, mundane life with you.

Can’t wait for those days where we can just have a lie in and lay in bed, all cuddled up, a little longer than usual. When we get up we’ll drink our morning tea or coffee and slowly make our way through the morning, just the two of us with a companionable silence in the air. I want to spend those calm days with her, only her, with not a single worry on our minds, and a sort or peace in the atmosphere that comes with truly finding your home.
