love languages
quality time like sitting on the kitchen counter sharing a strawberry malt; the same kind we shared on our second date, driving two hours each, each way. like dancing around the living room, my feet on yours. like a long walk through the forest, soaking up the sunset together, picking out our favorite pinecones to display. like a night in, lounging on the couch. like you, right across the table, the best morning view.
physical touch like you cupping my face in your hands, like you kissing promises into my forehead – “i love you.” like I want to hear your heartbeat up close, like I want my head on your chest to fall asleep to, like I want your hand in mine. like your hands in my hair, like mine running through yours. like i am thisclosetoyou, like you let me get this close to you, always.
words of affirmation like your mouth dripping in awe of me, like I adore you and here are 365 reasons why so you never have to question it. like you love me out loud, unashamedly. like you remind me of my own magic everyday, like I promise you they will love you, of course.
gifts like sunflowers from the garden you planted for me. like that lemonade I told you was my favorite one time, and you remembered every day since. like I have a running list of notes on my phone of things you’ve wished for aloud , like I am already planning your birthday, and Christmas, and every “just because” day in-between. like you just had to get it, like you saw it and it reminded you of me.
acts of service like some days you carry the load for the both of us, like I hate putting the dishes away, like you hate vacuuming the floors. like my hiking gear in your back seat, like I will always be willing to drive you to the airport. like I pick up your favorite cereal just because, like you pick up my favorite iced coffee on your way home, like you are always mindful of my emotions.
love language like “it’s okay, I love you no matter what”, like I make you feel loved, like you make me feel loved. like we create our own love language every day.
Soul stirring, beautiful emotions.
