My Happily Ever After

My idea of happily ever after is not the white fence or the white dress. Not the fancy wedding or the fancy vacations.

My happily ever after is laughing, smiling, running, catching your breath, tears of joy, messy hair, bare feet in the grass, random stops to take in the moment. shaking from the cold, getting soaked be the rain, dancing to our own song, Laying in the grass. Jumping in the water. Getting drunk on each other Sharing something new everyday. Opening our hearts every day. Climbing. Falling. Jumping.
It's honesty. Brutal honesty. It's commitment. Saying I see your demons and I love you anyway. It's little a little shot gun house that has so much love you can see it all over the walls, dowb the hallways and in the bedrooms. It's calloused hands, from working so hard to build a future with one another.
It's screams so loud that your voice cracks and he just grabs you and kisses you. My idea of a happily ever after is love. Real love. Passion. Not just standing in the rain and getting wet, but standing in the rain and feeling it..like you feel each other's love. I want a happily ever after that I can feel on the surface, but that soaks me to the bone, to the point my knees are weak, not only on day one, but on day 827,921. Tears, I want a love that makes me cry. So happy that it fills my eyes and runs down my cheek and lands on his shoulder, and he can smile knowing those tears are our happily ever after. Dying knowing that you lived you happily ever after, and you wouldn't change a single thing..


I wrote this on the boat on the way to school today. Just as soon as I closed my journal and tucked it away in my bag, the rain started to fall. In the moment, in that most beautiful moment.....
