hardly on the seabed.

I walked into my room and there it was. A box. it was a scarf. And I thought who'd want to give someone a scarf? And he told me 'that's not your gift, dummy' and he blind folded me. I so eagerly wanted to know where we were headed. But the breeze. The smell of fresh air. I knew we were headed somewhere wonderful;magical. I got out of the car and I could hear the waves lapping, the sound of sea gulls overhead. The smell of the ocean. I immediately knew where we were. He untied the blindfold and he set out a picnic for me. Just what I needed. A whole day with him, just him and I. No one else but the sea gulls and the warm summer breeze.

We watched the sunset together and listened to coldplay all night and talked about all our favourite books. And then I witnessed the most magnificent ineffable thing ever, something we could never get in the city-- the stars. It just overwhelmed the sky and I felt so happy. He told me to stop, and capture this exact moment. 'Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones', he sang. He told me to never leave this place we're in. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to be with him for as long as I could.

And then suddenly.....I woke up. I just knew that this was more than just a crush.
