"I want deep, meaningful conversations about our future home, our dream weddings, our aspirations, dreams (the silly and unreachable versus the down-to-earth and attainable), hopes and fears. I imagine we could find a secluded cafe some place and spend time gushing over the typography our wedding invitations might have or the friends we foresee ourselves still being close enough with to invite them to our wedding. We would share our career aspirations and our uncertainties of ever attaining them. We would talk about the places we would love to travel (both together and independently), and the many ways we could miss each other while we were gone.

I want cold nights wrapped up in bed with our blankets and memories to keep us warm. We would have multiple movies on play, skipping over parts that disinterest us and looping the ones that do, until we have the lines imprinted at the back of our minds. A bowl of cereal, uncompleted crossword puzzles and quirky inside jokes will complete the night. I imagine falling asleep to the sound of your voice (or vice versa) and waking up in the early morning and continuing where we left off, understanding completely our mutual love for sleep and conversation, but realising that one often triumphs.

I want laughter - lots and lots of laughter, that comes from a place in you no one has managed to touch previously. We have amazingly quick minds when it comes to getting each other’s sexual innuendoes and geeky jokes. We would spend all day talking, teasing and tantalising, realising that the joy is effortless and almost innate. In the middle of a laugh, we would catch each other’s eye and be struck at how incredibly lucky we are, and then start laughing instead at the kind of cheesy romance we have allowed ourselves to succumb to.

I want to live in your head but set up home in your heart."
