Established for you · No. 707
a little menu, just for you
Strawberries and steamed milk, served warm in apartment 707. Best shared with someone who gets the reference.
I started reading Nana because of you. I'm a volume in, about seven chapters deep. I keep telling myself it's research, but really I just wanted one more thing that's yours. 707.
The darkest thing on the menu. For the ones who like the lights off and the volume up.
You love the scary stuff, the films that make everyone else leave the room. I think that's the point: nothing about you scares me off. I'd sit through every one, as long as you're next to me.
The slowest pour on the menu. The sweetest part settles at the very bottom. Worth holding on for.
The best part of the cup is the part you wait for. I think we might be a little like that, too. Thank you for holding on. I promise it's worth it.
nomercy. And you really don't show any. You took me out completely and didn't even flinch. Worst part is I'd let you do it again.
You found all of it. Every hidden corner of this little café I built for you. I made it because saying this out loud felt too big, so I tucked it into coffee and lilies and the things you love. The plain version: I'm crazy about you. The late games, the way we talk every single day, the way you love your little one. All of it. I wouldn't trade an ordinary day for anything, except an ordinary day with you. So this is me asking, whenever you're ready.
