“i hope one day someone looks at you like they have been waiting to feel as happy as they do now. i hope they tell you cute things like how they found this cozy italian restaurant around the corner and kiss your nose before spinning you around in the street. i hope when you ask them to go for a walk in the middle of the night they do not complain that it is too cold and even though you can see the condensation of your breath in the midnight air i hope you feel warm. i hope old ladies smile knowingly when you walk by, hand in hand, along the pavement and i hope you are smiling too. when he whispers how much he loves you i hope you feel your heart beating so fast you are scared you will never recover. i hope he stays and makes you feel important, like he wants every part of this is not afraid to admit it. i hope he finds words that touch you where his fingers cannot and knows how to pull your hair when you are feeling electric but hold your soul when you are fragile like glass. and i hope you find someone who asks before they kiss you, not because they need permission but because they want to see your knees buckle and your lips part ways. i hope their hands feel right around your waist when you reply yes, until you are falling apart in his hands whispering yes, yes and yes. and i hope you never need to ask if he is the one because the answer will be staring you in the face.” 📷: @madalynvermeerphotos
