and gather honey

Grand gestures are nice: flowers, surprise dates, thoughtful notes. But it’s things like falling asleep next to one another where a majority of the sweetness and love lies. I think we are programmed to think life should be like a Rom Com with Meg Ryan and [insert guarded but internally lovely character here]. But most of the time it’s much simpler than that. It’s the feeling of going to sleep in the arms of someone who makes you feel comfortable and loved. that’s it. No rocks at the window, no stoping someone at the gate, just sleep… And maybe a little drool. You know, real life.
