An Autumn day with You

I'm dreaming of a day that I get to spend with you in the fall.  We could walk through the woods and look at all of the leaves changing and marvel at all of the beautiful colors.  I would pack us a picnic lunch with a thermos of hot apple cider and we could find a place in a clearing to sit down and enjoy a picnic together.  If it started to get chilly, I could snuggle up against your chest and we could look at all of the shapes in the clouds in the sky.  Maybe we could have an impromptu game of tag or hide and seek or something silly but fun like that.  We'd laugh until our sides hurt and we fall back into the grass, full of all of the joy imaginable.

And as the sun starts to set, we'd drive back to a place of our own, listening to Ella Fitzgerald on the radio and singing along with it. We could snuggle up together in bed and read together, and fall asleep side by side and we'd wake up to another beautiful Autumn day and kiss each other good morning, before we have to go work again, but we'd know that there would be more days like that where we could just enjoy each other and the beautiful world we live in.

A Christmas Story

I dream of a Christmas together. We are in our tiny apartment that we can barely afford, living in the city where we get to pursue our dreams and be together through the struggles of life.
It's a cold, snowy, windy evening where all one wants to do is stay inside and enjoy being toasty and safe from the storm. I dream about us having a fireplace and making coco while we hum along with christmas songs on the holiday specials. We'd make dinner together, maybe have a food fight, enjoy a glass of wine as we enjoy sharing a wonderful time together. We'd hang ornaments on our tiny tree, ones we made ourselves and gifted each other, building a collection of memories over the years. We'd hop under a blanket and sip, hum, watch, and doze our way until morning. Then we'd wake up to a bright sun, christmas day, and a winter wonderland.
