Dear Blake,

Have you seen all the stars in the sky? We'll go to our spot and stare at them all night long. How does that sound? I can already imagine it. Us laying in the clearing on a big blanket hand in hand. We'll talk about everything and nothing all at once. It'll be just like our first date. Minus the milkshake shooting out of my nose this time. You'll make me fall in love with you over and over again. Just like you always do. We'll talk about the memories we've made together even before we were dating.

We'll have all our favorites. Sour gummy worms for me and chocolate for you. Hot chocolate in a thermos so it doesn't get cold. Extra blankets because you know I'll get cold, even if I disagree originally. It'll all be in a backpack we'll end up leaving in the car though because we were too excited. This means we'll only have the blanket for the ground because I was wrapped in it in the car ride over. I was making very bad jokes on the ride over that you thought were absurd, but you laughed anyway. I'll tell you I love you more times then either one of us can count, but you'll respond every time without hesitation. I'll end up cuddling up to you because I'm cold without the extra blanket. You won't mind, you actually prefer it.

You'll point out fake constellations even though you know I know they're fake. I'll still act impressed. Neither one of us wanting the night to end. Far too soon the sun will start to rise. We'll roll up the blanket and head back to the car very slowly. I'll fall asleep as soon as we start driving. You'll glance at me at every stop sign and light. You'll be very careful not to hit a bump unless you must, not wanting to wake me up. I'll wake up when you turn onto my street unaware of how many times you looked at me and the drool that you wiped from my mouth not wanting me to feel embarrassed. Not wanting the date to end you'll "accidently" pass my house and take the long way back. It'll be hard to part ways once we do make it back. We'll both walk backwards to our destinations, so our eye contact never breaks. You'll get into your car and stay to make sure I get in to my house. Then when I'm out of sight you'll drive toward your house thinking about the date all the way home.

What do you think? Are you down?

Love,

Maya
