All the While

I was able to get quality time with Seth this week and I'm loving it. I had to get COVID tested for his parents to feel comfortable with me being over, but I did what I had to do. I've been here for a few days now and will be here for a little while longer. Seth and I were tired of keeping our distance with each other and missed being able to be truly ourselves with each other. We love snuggling up in bed watching Twilight Zone just talking and hanging out, and that's not something we've been able to do since March 9th. He was outside his house the second I pulled up so he could greet me. He picked me up and we spun around and kissed, and it was magical. I finally saw his family close up again along with their dogs. All three dogs were extremely happy to see me again and wanted to be pet and loved. I'm here for 6 full days and I haven't been this happy in a long while. I'm still working during the day, but Seth always sleeps late so it allows me to concentrate. Although, I do look back at him a lot while I work. Even now I can hear his subtle snoring, and it's soothing. We both finish work at 5pm and that's when we usually fool around and maybe watch a movie until dinner is ready. I've always enjoyed eating dinner with his family. They make great food and conversation. His twin sister and I get along particularly well. Usually once dinner is over we all settle in for a movie. They're a very big movie family and know more about older movies than anyone I've ever met. You could name any movie before 1960 and both Seth and his dad would be able to name actors, directors, producers, and awards won. It's incredible to watch the two of them banter about movies. It always makes me smile and it's one of the things I love most about Seth. He shows me new movies and things I've never been exposed to before and can tell me all sorts of trivia about them.

I think my favorite part about being here is that we can touch each other. He likes to hold my hand when we watch movies and pulls me close when we sleep together. It's a great feeling to be held and cherished by someone you love. I can feel how he envelopes me and I melt when he whispers that he loves me. Just last night I fell asleep in his arms while watching Star Trek together and I heard him whisper how he loved me and how cute looked wrapped around his arm. He has a hard time sleeping most nights so sometimes I'll be nudged awake when he moves around. I always fall back asleep but sometimes I hear him softly saying sweet words under his breath while stroking my hair as I drift back to sleep. I never want this mini vacation to end. I feel like I took our time together for granted back before the pandemic. We spent a lot of time (literally) sleeping together and I somewhat regret that. He says that I annoy him at night when sleeping because sometimes I touch his face or lightly run my hand down his back. I never mean to wake him, I just want to take in as much as I can because I know the moment I leave I'll want one more hug and one more kiss. Just one more minute with him. Leaving him was never easy, but now it'll be extra hard because neither of us knows when it'll happen again. Sure, I'll come over for walks outside but we keep our distance and never touch and have our masks on. With grad school starting in a few weeks I won't have time to come over for long periods like this so for now we'll be indefinitely separated once I leave. I'm getting ahead of myself and shouldn't get sad when I'm still with him. I'm looking at him now sleeping curled up under the covers softly snoring and it makes me smile. I love him so much.

These song choices are a little different. These are all from movies Seth has shown me. Normally I try to avoid posting music videos so you can focus solely on the music, but this time the context of a video is important. So sit back, listen, and watch. Maybe you'll find something you like and want to watch yourself.
