Places That Remind Me Of You
We’ve been some places around this city, even if just for moments at a time and these are a few that remind me of you.
The alley across the street from my apartment
It’s where you first held my hand and a spark went through me that made me go “uh-oh” but in the best way. I had on my cute little click-clack blush stacked heels and as I was stepping forward to cross the street on my own, you stepped in front and reached back to grab my hand. For as long as I have this apartment, I’ll always be able to look out the window and see the place where my true love first made my heart skip a beat.
1150 West Fulton Street
After we went to the art show we walked over to DDG to get a snack and a drink, on the way there we were holding hands and there is a bit of an incline and some trees right at it, its where I saw a penny that was face up and I grabbed it. I still have it. A little further on on that walk we talked about not splitting poles and how much folks thought we were weird for it and that made me smile so much, knowing that we had even the cutest tiniest things in common to laugh and smile at :)
310 N Peoria
This is where we realized that we got in the wrong Uber and the car turned around! I remember it a lot because it’s also where later you told me that you thought it was special because we laughed and giggled at it and it was not a big deal at all, and how you’ve been in other situations where it could have ruined a night. It was just the start of the silly moments we would later have together, and will of course continue to have.
Union Station
I’ve been here early in the morning, in the middle of the day, and late at night. Always to see you. There is this feeling I get when I pull up to it and know that in just a few short hours I’ll be seeing you. I also get a bit sad when I get back because it means I won’t see you for a few days. This place will forever remind me of you, remember when I tried to surprise you but you were already doing something cute to surprise me?!
Ada Street
I LOVED our dinner here. You looked incredible, sitting across from me at that table, snapping photos on your disposable, letting me say loudly naughty things to you, and eating hot donuts. I love looking at you when we’re out, it seems to always be through candlelight and when you smile over it I practically melt. Holding your hand as we leave, you walking in front of me to pull out my chair, giving my purse every 25 minutes so i can check my makeup. It was all perfect. I’ll never forget that dinner with you.
Schnooks
You’ve gotten me so many flowers from here. Every single time you always say something like “I know it’s not the fanciest but it’s all they had..” and every time I just kiss you and tell you how perfect they are. I love when we have went together and you yell out your window, most recently when we were walking around and you made me laugh so hard with your quip about PDA. Like, who the heck do you think you are being so fucking funny and sweet.
These aren’t all the places, but just some favs. Making memories with you all over this city—all over this world—is something I love doing with you.
I can’t wait for the day that I can think of hidden corners in some European city where we’ve had a coffee, a kiss, or a giggle. Or a cabin sitting just off a lake where I watched you take a swim. I love you so much and memories with you make my heart smile, let’s keep making more okay?
