One of these days you'll be cozied up in bed, big blankets enveloping you as the heat from your coffee cup warms your fingers and makes your nose run.

And one of these days you'll look over, the sun peeking through the window making you squint and you'll see your lover in their most peaceful state, hair awry and a spot of drool on the once clean pillow case and you'll wonder how you ever got this lucky.

One of these days you and your lover will slowly make your way to the kitchen and while you get the pan, they'll get the ingredients.

And as you wisk away at the pancake batter they'll turn on the radio and urge you to sing along to some bubblegum pop song about love written by someone who has never really experienced it.

And you'll laugh, setting aside the unprepared breakfast and grab their hands, romantically slow dancing with them on your cold kitchen floor in nothing but undergarments and big t-shirts.

One of these days everything will fall into place and every night you'll come home to the love of your life and talk about your day and how it would've been better with them by your side.

One of these days you'll spend the night in, building a small blanket fort around the TV in your living room.

And you'll watch your favorite movie but it'll be a good thing you've seen it a hundred times because you won't really be paying attention.

And one of these days as the movie nears the end and tears ***** your eyes because the guy never got the girl, your lover will kiss you gently, then passionately and sooner or later you'll both be tangled between the sheets and they'll be kissing every inch of you, loving every piece of you without hesitation.

One of these days the mornings won't seem so cold, the sky won't seem so gray, and the nights won't seem so lonely.

And one of these days at 2am you'll think about how you almost didn't stick around but then your lover will pull you closer in their arms as they sleep and you'll think about how you sure are glad that you did.
