C,

I bet you remember my perfect day. I woke up in your arms. We had been with J the night before, and after he left you thanked me for the experience and we made love a few more times before holding each other all night long.

I woke up in that hotel bed and felt your arms snake around me, and you asked if I was ready for more. Of course, I am always ready for more with you. You know how I love to feel your body against mine, your breath breathing how much you love me into my hair and my neck. We made love one more time before you asked if I'd like to go home.

I didn't want to leave you, but I knew I'd need to check on J and I'd need to pack a bag for the next night. I wasn't home long when you were texting and calling, asking when I'd be back. I was so ready to come back and spend more time with you. You suggested a concert that night, and I was so ready for a real date. We hadn't been able to make one work before that day, so going to something like a live music venue was exactly what I wanted with you. I wanted so badly to create memories with you and this was perfect.

I raced back to you. I needed to be near you some more. We timed it almost perfectly, you arriving at the hotel room right after me. I have pictures of that moment where you were checking email and buying the tickets to the show. I will always remember you in that chair, preparing our date for that night. Making sure things were ready to spend time with me.

We made our way downtown, wanting to find a museum. We found modern art, which is not really what either of us was looking for, but we made the most of it anyway. We walked through the museum, holding hands. Making memories.

We met R for drinks. I was anxious, and you knew it. But it really couldn't have been better. She walked in, saw me, and saw you holding hands with me. The whole time you were holding my hand, rubbing my back, showing that entire place that I was yours. R saw it and I like to think she saw the love you had for me in that moment. I could feel you watching me, as I was having a conversation without you, letting you catch up with R. I could feel the love in your eyes, the pride that you were with me... and I was never more proud to be your girl. I love that I got to meet someone from your past and we had a normal time, like a couple. That feeling of normalcy was something I had craved for so long, and finally we had it.

You drove us to the venue for the show. I didn't know anything about the band, but I trust you and your tastes. We had dinner, drinks, and you held me the entire time. You kept pulling me closer to you, letting my body melt into yours. The last song was "Perfect Day' and I couldn't help thinking in that moment how it was. What a perfect day. I don't know if you knew it, but there were tears slowly running down my cheeks during that song. Because I knew... I knew that would always be my perfect day. And I'm glad I spent it with you.
