Cuteness Abound
This is what happens when i listen to this song waay too damn much.
if you want a pick-me-up... here's your fix.
Walking outside, snowflakes sticking to everything. You laughing and smiling. Your blue eyes sparkle with a youth I don’t see every day. You run ahead and I dash after you, quickly catching up and pulling you into my arms. I kiss the snowflakes off your face.

Inside, you are sitting on your area rug. Glasses precariously perched on the tip of your nose as you read files and write notes. Glass of wine by one side and a crackling fire by the other. You’re wearing nothing but an oversized NYPD sweatshirt and I can’t help but take a quick picture before I settle onto the couch.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
It’s time for bed and I sneak in our room to see you’ve fallen asleep with a book, again. Surprise! It’s Shakespeare. Sometimes when we’re in bed you’ll recite him to me. Your angelic voice can make anything beautiful, and I always hang on every word. I look down and carefully grab the glasses off your nose, take the book, and turn out the light so I can climb in and snuggle into you.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sipping MY coffee, you flash me a brilliantly gorgeous smile. Little Buddha is sitting in your lap, his soft ears flapping in the wind, kind of like your hair. You’re driving us down to your Hamptons house in your convertible for an impromptu vacation. I've never just taken off work “because”. I have plenty of overtime stored up but we’ll only be gone for half the week and weekend. The sun is setting and Every Breath You Take is playing through the car. I could not be happier.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I never do anything for my birthday, but this year you insist we go out. I argue, and you calmly convince me. You say this was the day my mother brought the most wonderful human being into the world, and I cry a little. We end up going to O’Malleys because I didn’t want anything swanky, but I soon realize I've been set up. Every single one of my friends is there. I don’t know how you pulled it off, but they were all freed from the depravity of the City tonight. Everyone I love is in one place, and I think I was wrong when I said before I could not be happier. You find be a bit later, sitting at the bar with an obviously contented smile on my face. You pull out a box from Tiffany’s and give me a ring. Diamonds set into a band, because you know I can’t really wear a ring at work. You, almighty advocate for the people, look nervous. You tell me you love me with all of your heart and want me forever, and of course I say yes.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
You walk down the aisle in the most gorgeous dress I've ever seen in my life. You proposed to me, but you’re still the “girlier” one and were ecstatic when I told YOU to wear the dress. The squad, Kathy, your mother, and a few others are here, but all I see is you. I pull the veil over your head and tears start to well in my eyes. You’re so beautiful and I can’t help but whisper I love you. We exchange vows in the fall, at sunset in the Hamptons. When we are announced as the Cabot-Bensons I beam. We dance to Every Breath You Take at the reception and I was wrong about all other moments up until now, this is when I love you most.
