a midsummer night with you ♡ 12 days of pinkmas

The sound of the cicadas sing over the silence of night — their song the soundtrack for the midsummer night — as you sway gently on the porch swing with your most favorite person.

She’s looking off in the distance as you swing, lost in thought, a soft smile playing on her face that calms the anxious voice often in your head. It’s that type of beautiful smile that brightens up her face, giving you a glimpse into her soul.

You’re completely absorbed in her presence, the way she effortlessly illuminates the world with her beauty — both inside and out. The gentle rhythm of the swing lulls you into a state of peaceful bliss, as if time has stopped for just a moment.

You take a deep breath, inhaling the scent of freshly cut grass and summer blooms, the fragrance dancing with the notes of the evening dew. It’s in these quiet moments, when the world seems to slow down, that you truly appreciate the beauty of life — that you’re grateful you stayed.

As you glance over at her, you’re struck by the way the moonlight dances across her face, casting a soft glow around her making her look as though she were an angel on earth. A gentle breeze tickles the trees as the crickets join the cicadas in their song, creating a symphony of summer.

She looks up, meeting your gaze with eyes that hold an overwhelming amount of love— and suddenly you’re lost in them — warm amber pools you find yourself never wanting to look away from. You can feel the warmth emanating from them — enveloping you with a love you never thought you’d experience.

In that moment, you realize that she is the one that inspires your every work — she’s in every poem, every song, every painting. She has the key to the very depths of your soul — your entire being. Her smile alone sparks the fire within you, fuelling your creativity and passion in a way no one else ever has.

You close your eyes and whisper a silent thank you to the universe for finally bringing her into your life — divine timing on your side. It’s in her eyes, you find solace — a place in this chaotic world.

You find pure and simple love — a love that transcends time and words — a love that fills you with so much emotion you almost want to burst into tears.

It’s in these quiet nights with her, beneath the stars that glitter the sky above, that you realize she isn’t just meant to be a chapter in your book, but a soul intertwined with your own. You realize how truly fortunate you are to have found each other — as though every tiny moment throughout your lives were tying you together this entire time — an invisible string leading you directly to her.

Together, you watch the stars twinkle above, knowing that this simple moment in time is just one of many in your lives together. And with each passing night, you know you’ll continue to write the chapters of your love together, with every word a tender kiss on the pages.

sunsets ♡ sapphic musings ౨ৎ 12 days of pinkmas

The breeze caresses your skin, carrying the intoxicating scent of salt and sand from the ocean. Gentle waves crash against the shore, a moment of serene tranquility envelopes you as you’re lost in thought.

The beach has always been your happy place — freeing and calm — one of the only happy memories from a rocky childhood. It’s a place where worries get left behind and a feeling of complete bliss takes over — where the cool, salt air kisses your cheeks to let you know you’re safe — you can breathe again.

A place to watch breathtaking sunsets — a reason to be grateful for those little moments in life —

The sound of laughter filling the air frees you of being in your head — the light, musical sound igniting a fire within your soul.

And there she is, just a few steps away —wind playfully dancing through her hair, as she collects shells with a contagious joy — you can’t help the smile that begins to spread across your face as you watch on.

In that luminous golden hour, as the sun begins its descent, she turns to you with that smile — the one where her smile reaches her eyes causing those adorable crinkles that fill your stomach with 10,000 butterflies —

and she presents the prettiest shell she has found, as if it were a precious gift from the depths of the ocean. It is in that very moment, when the sun’s warm embrace casts a magical glow surrounding the two of you, that you realize she’s what makes it all worth it —

and you want to never want to spend a single sunset without her again.
