One day, you will have that place you’ve always dreamed of – an apartment that’s entirely your own. It might not be the biggest or the fanciest, but it will be yours. The place where you can come home after a long day and perhaps even more than that, there’s something – or rather, someone – that makes it feel like home.

It’s that person who turns even the most ordinary moments into memories worth treasuring. The one who makes you laugh until you’re wiping away tears, and when you’re crying for real, they’re there too, holding you tight until the world feels right again.

They’re the one who, whenever they laugh, their eyes find yours, as if checking to see if you’re smiling too. And of course, you are. Because how could you not smile when you’re with them? That smile, that damn smile they love so much.

Suddenly, you find yourself wishing for annoying things like red traffic lights. Who would’ve thought you would ever want a red light? But with them, that extra few seconds together feels like a little gift. Or maybe it’s dessert – when you’ve finished the first one but order another just for an excuse to stay longer, to soak in every last moment.

And those hugs? They’re not the type to let go first. No, they’ll keep you close until you’re the one pulling away, reluctantly. And you’ll realize, in those quiet seconds after, how safe, how warm it feels to be held by someone who gets you.

They’re the person who will always save you a seat, no matter where you are. In every occasion, every event, every random outing – they will make sure there’s always a spot beside them, as if it’s been yours all along. You will have that space – both the apartment and the person. And together, they will make your world feel a little bigger, a little brighter, and a little more precious.
