2020 Christmas list.
A room with a lit snowman cookie scented candle.
A full, heavy suitcase on the bed.
Rushing through the apartment with a messy list in hand.
A sleepless night due to excitement.
An anxious car ride to the airport.
Stuck on a plane for 27 hours, on my way to you.
Double checking the receipt to the hotel.
Texting you each hour, until I am minutes away.
Getting settled in the hotel suite we will make home for the next two weeks.
Getting coffee with you, to break the ice.
Going on dates in the crisp air.
Your lips on mine for the first time as snowflakes fall.
Getting your parents and watching your face light up.
Going around your town and seeing where you grew up.
Listening to Christmas songs in the back of the car while holding your hand.
Our first time being cuddled up on the bed while watching cartoons.
The first Christmas we will have together, as your family gathers.
Wine drunk and dancing as the snow falls, thinking "this is it."
Going on one adventure after another.
You look into my eyes.
I look into your eyes.
Hearing you say "I love you" for the first time since being in your arms.
Having a moment to embrace you.
The truth is...
You're on every line of my Christmas list this year.
