I'm afraid to blink
Because if I blink
I might miss one millionth of a millionth of a second
Admiring how beautiful you look
In the dull monotone light of my apartment bedroom

I don't know how you did it
But every single inch of this space
Our space
Feels like home

Every corner
Every carpet stain
Every wet spot because our dumb cat was an ***
That's something that still gets me
Our cat
Our own little family in this one bedroom
Before we set off to have our actual family
Every inch of the wall dedicated to art that we made together

Every picture hanging above the wall of us and you
It is home

I've realized that no matter where we go
Well be right at home
Because home is anywhere I go with you

I hate clichΓ©s
They take away from the authenticity of words
I could tell you I love you to the moon and back
But so what
So has everyone and their middle school lover
I could tell you I'd die for you
But there's a lot of people and things I would die for


One day I'll pull out a ring
Get on one knee
And tell you this
I'll live for yo
