Affection • A Oneshot Collection

• REMINISCE •

October 14

Silence fills the room when I open my eyes. Your arms holding me with such warmth. Beautiful how my head perfectly fits into position like lock and key whenever we cuddle together on the small sofa. Throw pillows are scattered on the carpet, waiting to be gathered once we get up.

I could get lost in your eyes any day. That's why it's good you're asleep since I know my heart beats like crazy whenever you look at me.

The sight of you is merely intoxicating. Meeting you for the first time was like my first time listening to my now favorite song. Your fun and eccentric personality makes me feel so exclusive to witness you at your most peaceful moments. When it feels like time is on pause, you're here with me. You definitely have treated me nothing less than the best a person could ever ask for. I treat everything we do together to be exquisite because every moment is important to me. I want to treat you as good as I know you would treat me. You would spoil me but I would do the same everytime. Crazy how we're so fit for each other even if we met accidentally. You blessed fast food places with your presence because now whenever I eat there alone I end up just thinking about you.

You certainly became my favorite love song. You aren't overpowering, or too sweet. You had your bittersweet tones in the melody like it was written in minor key but the lyrics say different. You were the type of song I'd love to both start and end my day listening to. You became my good morning and good night.

I'm not a fan of routines since I never stick to them but you and I were consistent. You were the one I would find a shoulder to lean on first, the one I'd be looking for love from after myself. Your sweetness and cheesy dad jokes would always be the reason to light me up akin to sunlight.

It utterly confuses me that you would even have the thought that you are flawed. What possible characteristic of you would I hate? With your bad traits, you just became even more human and beautiful to me. The want to change shouldn't exist because if I swallowed the pill of love, I have to understand the side effects.

I've always expected love to be like this but what you make me feel with your words and actions are beyond expectations and reality combined. If words can encapsulate emotions I would've told you everything I could say in hopes you would realize how much I love you.

However, I know you feel it already.

Those hands of yours have held mine always. Those hands have dried your tears when I wasn't there with you personally. Your feet have walked you miles before I joined you. Your body has taken care of you the same way I would've done the same for you.

We aren't perfect, we have had arguments and sometimes I'm not there to comfort you. So, I hope your body keeps giving you affection like I should've. I just wish I could teleport to you. Even if I couldn't, I held you close to me everytime. I take advantage of how skin has memory and how my touch will stay for you even after days.

Likewise, your scent would remain on this couch after we get up. Makes me feel as if we never left at all.

Time flies by with you. I can pass hours just talking with you. I'm just so blessed and lucky you aren't sick of me yet.

People talk about love as if it's just a feeling sometimes. However, I know for sure that it's not the feeling I love, but the person who gives me that.

You make me feel euphoria. No, wait, you make me feel everything to be completely honest with you. Your consideration for me is immense and I will always be selfless for you. Being with you is like absolute felicity wrapped with a bow. You make me feel utter happiness that I can't even express it fully to you. I used to be afraid that after the honeymoon stage, you wouldn't treat me the same. I thiught wrong though, it all just got better even with the road bumps. Every day still feels like serendipity.

If my dreams became human, you know it would form you.

I knew I was falling for you when I started to think about you in every song now, be it reality or fantasy. Daydreaming became a usual but I know those dreams can become reality in time. Someday our drawings will be colored in.

Come to think about it, I would dream about this moment happening in the past. Now that's why the present is called like that, it truly is a gift huh? I know for sure in the future we wouldn't get tired of this. I just can't tell you everything I would think and feel for you because I know you would call me too cheesy.

Finally, your eyelashes start fluttering. I plant a kiss on your forehead, a "mind of wonders" I would call it.

"Good morning."
"Good morning."

A smile creeps on my face. Damn, I really fell hard for you.
