r/hopelessromantic

just waking up next to the person i love while the house is still quiet. sunlight coming through the window, neither of us fully awake yet

making breakfast together, then eventually hearing the kids running around. showing them some random thing i know, letting them help me cook even though i'll probably have twice as much to clean up after

brushing my daughter's hair before she goes somewhere. having my son ask me how something works so i can pretend i know what i'm doing

coming home after a long day and having someone there i actually want to tell everything to

then ending the night on the couch, watching something we're barely paying attention to because we're too busy talking

nothing huge. just a quiet house, people i love, and a life that actually feels like home

i guess that's what being hopelessly romantic looks like for me

Loving someone you know you will never unlove or staying with someone you know you will never love enough?
