A short ode to love,

Find someone who knows how you like your coffee, cream with no sugar. Someone who knows your favorite season, fall because of the yellow and orange trees. Someone who knows you will shove pretty shells in their pockets at the shore because your dress does not have them. Someone who stands up for what you believe in.

Someone who knows your astrological sign. Someone who can make you smile with little to no effort. Someone who knows you don’t need material items to be kept happy. Someone who knows you on your best and worst days. Someone you are comfortable telling anything and everything to.

Someone who does not scare you. Someone who knows you feel confident in makeup and accepts it. Someone who will wake up at absurd early hours in the A.M. to catch the sunrise. Someone who will rush to the beach with you to catch the sky burst with color. Someone to run through the rain with, that holds you tight to the loud sudden bursts of thunder that crash over the city’s skyline. Someone who enjoys views as much as you from one of the highest peaks in the area. Someone to lay out in the grass with blankets and find constellations.

Someone to hold hands with. Someone to give your love to unconditionally. Someone who will do anything to make it clear that they love you. Someone who knows that they are your first priority and that you expect the same. Someone who knows that the sound of the ocean hitting the jetty down by the bay is one of the few things to calm you down.

Someone who knows that silence is a blessing and curse. Someone to find a pretty flower and sticks it in your hair. Someone who calls you just to hear your voice. Someone to check in to see that you are doing well.

Someone to find joy in. Someone who accepts your hobbies as you accept theirs. Someone who calls you beautiful. Someone who respects you.

Someone who can talk to their friends with a tone, but would not dare to speak to you that way. Tell yourself that you will not fall in love with someone who will catch the sunset with you to only disappear by sunrise. Once you catch this certain someone, don’t lose them.
