Oh geez, I remember singing this song...in my room...daydreaming...

[Note: This list is a work in progress.]

Holding your hand.

Planning trips to places we’ve always wanted to go.

Leaving surprise gifts in coat pockets and under pillows.

Blowing bubbles at the park.

Creating memories and filling scrapbooks with mementos of our things we’ve done together.

Dancing in the kitchen, with or without music.

Singing you love songs, whenever the mood strikes.

Taking long walks together—in the rain, in the snow…anywhere you want to go.

Enjoying leisurely breakfasts in bed.

Watching fireworks on a blanket on the shore of the lake.

Spending hours just kissing and holding each other.

Giving you a massage after a long day at work. Or just because.

Going to see a new movie at midnight.

Leaving messages on the bathroom mirror.

Giving you my undivided attention—for hours.

Create a loving home.

Remembering our first kiss.

Saying the things that make your heart and brain go all fuzzy.

Leaving work early just to spend time with you.

Taking you out for ice cream, just because.
