If I was dating you...
12 years ago
Sent this to someone's ask on tumblr. They'd requested for someone to finish that line, whether it be anonymously, or public. The words stayed with me though, and I decided to put them out there for them to grow like flowers needing fresh air. Coincidentally, it happens to be very close to Valentine's and I guess I've been thinking about this a lot....This version, by the way, is the full version, since tumblr's ask box is pretty small. It's super corny, but I really like it. It makes me feel like a submissive fool, but eh, whatever.
Anyways,
Here goes.
If I was dating you, I'd spend my time holding your hands. I would rub them gently, as if constantly checking that you were there. I would learn all the things I could about you, and take the time to remember all the easily forgotten or ignored things, like how you smell, or if you like to have fingers run through your hair. I would gently whisper sweet things into your ear as we fell asleep. I would surprise you with impromptu meals I'd cooked or baked and find all the reasons to hold you close. I would rest my head on your shoulders, and enjoy those moments as one does when in a state of pure bliss. I would watch movies with you, and then carefully watch your face whenever the movie got interesting, to try to read you at the peak of the moment. I would lose myself in watching you work, seeing you do your craft, whether it be drawing, writing, cooking, or gaming. I would be brave for you when you needed it, and do my damn hardest to understand when things were wrong. I would rest my head on your chest to hear the sound of your heartbeat, and focus on that sound to fall asleep. I would offer the last piece of candy to you, and smile as I watched you enjoy it. I'd love you like one loves music, poetry and the arts. I would be myself and enjoy each and every day as long as you were by my side.
