For the past week Colton has sent me a video, everyday, playing love songs to me. His own way of showing his love for me. It's like I'm in my own romcom. Do people even say that?

Sunday: Adore you by Harry Styles
Walk in your rainbow paradise
Strawberry lipstick state of mind
I get so lost inside your eyes
Would you believe it
You don't have to say you love me
You don't have to say nothing
You don't have to say your mine
Honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do

Colton sings a capello

Like it's the only thing I'll ever do.

Monday: Dibs by Kelsea Ballerini
If you've got a kiss on your lips that you're looking for somebody to take
If you've got a heart that ain't afraid of love, ain't afraid to break
If you've got a Friday night free and a shotgun seat
Well I'm just saying
I ain't got nowhere to be
So baby I'll take whatever it is you've got to give
Yeah I'm calling dibs
On your lips
On your kiss
On your time
Girl I'm calling dibs
On your hand
On your heart
All mine

I smiled when he changed the lyric from boy to girl. He gave me a smirk through the camera, knowing damn well I'd appreciate it. This boy knows me too well.

Tuesday: Sucker by Jonas Brothers
We go together
Like birds of a feather
You and me
We change the weather
I'm feeling heat in December when your round me
I've been dancing on top of cars
And stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark
Can't get enough
Your the medicine and the pain
The tattoo inside my brain
And baby you know it's obvious
I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you
Any road you take
You know that you'll find me
I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you
And you're making the typical me break my typical rules
It's true I'm a sucker for you

Colton finished playing and put a sucker in his mouth. He winked at me before stopping the video. Welp, I just died.

Wednesday: Perfect by Ed Sheeran
I found a love for me
Darling just drive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes your holding mine
Baby I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered under my breath
But you heard it darling, you look perfect tonight

A single tear drops on to my phone. I touch my cheek and smile without realizing. This man brought tears to my eyes. Damn it. I laugh to myself. I hold the phone to my chest and think back to the Willow tree. Him holding me in his arms on the grass, against the tree. Him saying he loves me. This should be our song. It's everything that embodies us. I think. I start texting Colton back and tell him about "our song."

Thursday: Superposition by Young the Giant
I don't believe in fate
No psychic vision
But when things fall into place, superposition
In any universe you are my dark star
I want you to want me
Why don't we rely on chemistry
Why don't we collide the spaces that divide us
I want you to want me
Superstition aims with imprecision
But when things can't be explained, superposition, oh
In any universe you are my dark star
I want you to want me
Why don't we rely on chemistry
Why don't we collide the spaces that divide us
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
No matter what we do
I'll be there with you
I want you to want me
Why don't we rely on chemistry
Why don't we collide the spaces that divide us
I want you to want me
