Perfect Date

Dear my crush,

The perfect date, huh? Well, in my eyes it'd go a little like this:

Honestly, I will settle for anything that involves food and/or gaming, but my perfect date is a little different. Scratch that, it is very different. 

For location, I would prefer for it to be away from the bright lights and sketchy streets of the town we live in. I would love to watch the sunset from an overlook surrounded by trees. We would be able to see the city lights after the sunset and fairy lights would be strung from the trees. We would be sitting on the hood of the car we drove there or on the ground on a blanket. I can not see us being overly touchy, but I imagine us sitting beside each other with our hands entwined.

I can hear the crickets chirping in the background. There would be no one around; just us. It would be serene, but it would not be completely silent - we would talk. About what? Well, anything really. I feel like I can share everything with you, from the small to the big. When I am around you, I feel like I do not have to pretend. You have always seemed like someone that I could trust - one that would not share the secrets I tell you or shame me for my flaws.

When it got dark enough, we would pack up our things and start the drive home. It would be that comforting kind of silence on the ride. No radio would play and we would just listen to the engine of the car as we made our way back to the city. You would drop me off at my house and walk me up the driveway to the front door.

Oddly enough, I would feel like this would be our first kiss. If we've gotten this far into a relationship without having one, this would be the time. If you've known me long enough to know that this would be my perfect date, then I think we've achieved the next stage of our relationship.

You would walk back to your car and start the engine. You and I would wave goodbye and I would watch from my house's front door as you drove off.

I would love for all these things to happen, but unfortunately, I don't think I could ever have to confidence in myself to chase this dream. Sadly, I don't think you do, either. 

But maybe - just maybe - we'll end up together.

Sincerely,
Arcadia
