I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you excited for mornings.

When the sun starts to rise, and the streams of light hit your pillow, I hope you are lying next to someone who takes your breath away. I hope that when the sunshine hits their face, and when it illuminates the pillow that they lay upon, you feel as if angels are shining down on you both. I hope your breath catches a bit, and the butterflies in your stomach begin to flutter, and your face breaks into a smile that stretches wide. For as that sunlight begins to touch everything in your bedroom, you are overcome with gratitude and swells of love. You are here, with your beloved, and they are here, with you – and at that moment, you know that you both are incredibly lucky to have one another.

I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel excited for mornings.

When you decide to finally get out of bed and get ready for work and your day ahead, I hope you start your days with words of love. I hope you begin your hustle with a moment of affection and appreciation. I hope that the person you fall in love with knows how to make you feel seen, and loved, and heard in those early morning moments. Maybe that means you begin your days with chatter and conversation. Or perhaps that means you’re comfortable with the silence that fills your space as you both pad around, sleepily getting ready, waiting for the coffee to be prepared, and the caffeine to kick in. But however you part ways in the morning – whether it’s an embrace in the doorway, or a kiss on the head as one of you remains sleeping, and the other scurries out the door for work – I hope you begin your day feeling loved, and looking forward to the time you see one another again.

I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel excited for mornings.

When the weekend hits, and you have a Saturday or a Sunday stretched out before you, with nowhere to go, and nobody to see, and no plans that demand for your attention – I hope you remain still for a bit. Maybe it’s a couple of minutes. Perhaps it’s an hour or two. But however long it is, I hope you’re able to be still with the one you love for an uninterrupted period. I hope you enjoy the freedom that comes with lying in bed on a weekend morning without a pressing commitment lingering in the next few hours. Enjoy one another – cook breakfast or brunch slowly and steadily. Let your laughter fill the air. Let your love wrap you both close.

I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel excited for mornings.

I hope your excitement of the morning, to begin a new day with the one you love, fuels your afternoon, and your evening, and the dreams you have while you sleep.

I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel excited about life.
