I cant wait to walk down the street, your hand in mine.

I cant wait to brush your hair back with my fingertips, look into your eyes.

I cant wait to do all the little things with you, the routines, the habits.

I cant wait to listen to the sound of your sleepy breathing, to wonder what youre dreaming of.

But I cant wait for the little things.

For the moments in-between.

Yes I want big, I want beautiful, I want a love that makes my heart feel full.

But I want the little things, babe.

The moments that lie beneath the surface of our connection and make our love undeniably real.
