What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circling all round the sun. What a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen in a blink of an eye and be gone from me. Let me hold it close and keep it here with me. And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea. But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and LIST every beautiful thing we see.

  • When he rests his chin on sofa and other things to be cute.
  • When he rests his chin on my shoulder in car.
  • His sweet little teeth.
  • When he runs in circles like a crazy person with zoomies right after a bath.
  • When he makes sounds in his puppy dreams.
  • How he has to go the bathroom with me every time and just lays at my feet.
