Coffee Dates

I want you.

I want to fall in love with your smile and your laugh.

I want to get nervous when I see you but that nervous excited that you only feel with someone really special.

I want to intertwine my fingers with yours and never let go.

I want to know what your lips taste like and the sound of your voice when you say hello.

I want to be the first person you want to call when something really exciting happens.

I want to know your favorite color and what scares you most.

I want to know your dreams and your happy place.

I want to know your name.

I want to know your face.

One day. One day I’ll meet you and my heart will skip a beat. Or maybe it won’t. Maybe I won’t know right away...

that you’re the one who’ll make it all change.

I want you to know me.

I want you to know that I’m stubborn.

I want you to know that I'm a perfectionist.

I want you to know that I prefer at home dates.

I want you to know my happy place is watching movies in oversized t-shirts covered with the softest of blankets.

I want you to be warned because I sing way too loud in the car.

I want you to know that I always run late and that I’m a huge fan of coffee dates.

I want you to know me...the me that’s silly and weird and tries WAY too hard to be funny.

But not yet, not right now.

Right now...

I want me.

I want to love me.

I want to learn me.

I want to love my laugh and know that my smile’s okay.

I want to love the way I think and see the world.

I want to know that being perfectly imperfect me is okay. 

Right now I'm focusing on friendships and french fries.

Right now I'm focusing on my dreams and Friends reruns.

Right now I’m focusing on me.

And then one day me will meet you and then maybe, just maybe... we can get brunch or lunch or coffee and laugh a little too? ❤️
