Amanda Lorraine~that fuzzy feeling inside pt.1~
Dear You,
I was thinking about you and how much I adore your presence. Then, my mind started to think of all the other things I have fallen in love with.
The warmth of a fireplace when it’s flurrying outside
Looking at the stranger in the car next to you to find them smiling at a memory they’re obviously fond of
The excitement when you play a song on the piano perfectly for the first time
Dancing along to throwbacks in a diner’s parking lot at 11:53 pm
Turning in the final draft of an essay you stayed up all night writing
Laughing so hard your body forgets how to stand
The moment you realize how important to you someone has become
Checking off something on your to-do list
freshly vacuumed floors
Warm coffee in the morning
That first sip of water in the morning that you can feel trickle all the way down to your stomach
When someone has stars in their eyes while they talk about a topic their passionate about
The chills you get after listening to a song for the first time
The calm silence that comes after you’ve cried for hours and you realize you might actually be okay
Watching your favorite movie while eating cookie dough after a hard day
Hugs that feel more meaningful than most kisses
Fuzzy socks!!!
Shaved legs and clean sheets
That one coffee shop
When someone gets excited about the weird stuff you’re excited about
When a stranger genuinely smiles back
Those strangers that feel like friends for ten minutes before you both will only have that memory of each other forever
Waking up early enough to watch the sunrise
Bonding with strangers over flaws
When the cat does that thing where he boops his face into yours to show he loves you
Finding the outfit
When someone says your hands are freezing and then they try to warm them up
When you say a risky joke and someone responds with an even riskier response
The peacefulness of the morning after it snows
When my friends are successful
Hearing someone sing for the first time (and they’re actually amazing)
When someone shares their crazy idea about life and its meaning
When a toddler falls asleep hugging you
Making it to the waterfall
Diving into the pool for the first time since last summer
Walking out of an incredible movie
When someone pronounces it thee-aye-ter
The satisfaction of making someone who doesn’t like you genuinely smile
Handwriting letters
The peaceful ambience of fishing in a river
Laying down in the middle of a quiet street at 2 am
Writing five poems in two hours after having not written for two months
When a stranger compliments your outfit
When the sky looks like a painting
When your makeup looks perfect the first time
Taking off your makeup after a long day
Bubble baths!
A tuned guitar
That part of that one song that hits that one chord that makes you remember why you love music in the first place
Finding a new favorite artist
Wrapping up in that one blanket you love
And so much more…
Of all the things in this list I adore, my favorite is you.
From,
Me
