Perfect Date

a slice of perfection

dearest lover,

to think of a single perfect moment to spend with you would be impossible, every second spent with you, your fingers tracing patterns on the inside of my arm or your gorgeous, brown locks between my fingers as you lay your head on my lap, are the most simplest but the most appreciated pleasures in my life. a day with you, just the two of us without the world interfering would be under a tree, my love. the sky is the most beautiful shade between blue and black, and your breathing is the only thing i can hear; it's intoxicating. your eyes are closed and mine flutter between you and the sky above, wondering how the person beside me could possibly be more beautiful than the sky above us. how one person, out of billions, can mean so much to me that you completely calm the butterflies that are constantly wrecking havoc within me. just laying there, your arms around me, a discarded picnic to the left of you and the weight of the world on your shoulders. you're so calm, you're always so calm but right now there are tears on your cheeks. no words are shared between us in that moment but no words are needed, the fact that you're here and i'm here, that i'm here for you and that you are allowing yourself to be this vulnerable in front of me means everything in the world that words cannot put emphasis on. my heart swells, and my arms are as tightly around you as they can be, and your face is now in the crook of my neck, and i realise that there is nothing more precious, more beautiful than you in this moment. your unrestrained emotions, your tears, your trust in me; my heart is completely full of love, adoration and heartbreak for you. i don't need a fancy date, or flowers, or chocolates, or even a teddy bear. my idea of a perfect date is the real you, the you that you refuse to show to anyone else in this world but know you can show me because i will not judge even for a moment. your tears although soul destroying, show me you're feeling something. they show me that although you are the strongest, most stubborn man i have ever known, vulnerability, love and emotion is far more important than exceeding what the world expects of you. your tight grip on my shirt, your tears seeping through to my skin. you. the real, unmasked you is my ideal date. real love and emotion no matter how painful, is my ideal way to bask in the glorious light that is our relationship.

all of my devotion, my darling x
