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.
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.
can we all agree that pressing foreheads together is an underrated act of affection??
Remembering everything is a blessing and a curse.
i want a soft connection. i want to be asked how my day went and if i need anything. i want forehead kisses. i want the back of my hand kissed at red lights. i want to be asked how i’m mentally feeling. i want to hold hands everywhere we go. i want romantic gestures. i want my hair played in at the most unexpected moments. i want silent eye connections that lead to smiles. i want to take random walks.
I’m in the mood to lay in bed with a partner and be held very very tightly. I want to hold their arms as we spoon and fall asleep feeling safe and protected. Just the two of us.
soon it will be autumn, and i'll have a cup of warm tea, an old, unread book with crinkled pages, and the leaves would be a beautiful shade. everything would be alright again.
When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they make you laugh when you need it the most.

Let’s lay on the hood of the car with our hands entwined, and look at the stars. If we saw a shooting star, I’d wish that that moment could last forever.
