All along there was some invisible string tying you to me

-Taylors pov- 

There are lots of days in life that are special. After all every day is filled with moments that can fall into one of the many emotions we have. We all hope that most days are good but there is even something beautiful about a bad day because it means that it can only be better the next day. 

Today however Is probably the most nerve-wracking day of my life so far. It's the day where everything could really change forever. I'm about to do something that is untraditional, but I feel like its time, and I want to do it. 

I'm watching the love of my life sleep beside me, and I take in all the features of his gorgeous face. With every day we are together I fall deeper in love with him than the day before. I always think it's not possible to love him any more than I already do, but every single time I prove myself wrong. 

There isn't just one thing about him that I love, it's all the little and big things mashed together into one beautiful human being. It's the way his dimples show when he smiles and the way his soft hair feels when I run my fingers through it. It's the way he holds me close when I'm going through something hard, and I know that he will never let me go. It's the way he always tells me that he loves me every single night, even if we just had a fight. He always has this care for everyone around him that he isn't afraid to show. It's the way his fingers glide over the piano and create these beautiful and intricate melodies that make the creative juices flow in me. There isn't a single thing about him that I find boring. Sure, he has flaws, we all do, but they don't outweigh the good things. He is stubborn, isn't the most organized person, doesn't always clean up after himself and is a classic case of man-sick when he is sick. 

"you're watching me sleep again" he says in is raspy morning voice and reach around my waist and pull me close to his chest and Nussle his head in the crock of my neck kissing it repeatedly 

"How could I not. You're so beautiful" I say and giggle as I kiss the top of his head. "I want to take so somewhere later today. I thought we could bring lunch with us as well" I say. 

"Sounds like an adventure. Do I get to know where we are going my love?" he asks, and I shake my head "it's a surprise" 

We manage to crawl our way out of bed to get ready for the day. I pull on a plain tank top and a pair of shorts because its summer after all. The weather is supposed to be really nice today too which is an added bonus. I tell joe to put on something he can comfortably go for a walk in which is a hint to where we are going. With my hair I simply pull it into a ponytail and leave my face makeup free. If I was going for a perfect look for what I have planned I would get dressed up, but that's not really our style. 

I'm on coffee and fruit duty while joe makes us some pancakes for breakfast. Years ago, I wouldn't be caught dead eating pancakes, but now I see it as a perfect Sunday breakfast. Life is too short to not take pleasure in food. 

"You still not going to tell me where we are going love?" he asks as we eat, and I shake my head "no it would ruin the surprise. You need to be patient babe" 

We have been together for almost five years now and it's been the best five years of my life. Together we are stronger than we are on our own, and I can't see myself ever splitting form him. Especially during lockdown our relationship only got stronger, and we realized just how much we need one another. It's not that we aren't capable of doing on with our lives on our own, but we have figured out that life is so much more sparkly when we are together. He is my best friend and the love of my life at the same time. Whenever something happens in my life, he is the first I run to because if I don't tell him it doesn't really feel real. 

"if it was anyone else I would not accept that answer. But if you jump, I jump my love" me says and I burst out laughing which almost causes me to choke on a bite of pancake. There is no one who can make me laugh like he can, he brings out the best in me. This happiness is just pure and simple, it's not complicated or maddening. Sure, my life is anything but normal and notoriously complicated, but this relationship isn't. If we turn off every outside factor our relationship in its purest form is simple.
