A/N Hello, my loves! I know it's been a while since you've heard from me (little Taylor Swift lyrics for you, hehe), but I hope you can forgive me. As always, requests are open, and I hope you will enjoy this story! I love you all so much <333

Carry me away. Carry me somewhere far. Somewhere where no one has ever been to. Take me higher than the tallest mountain and further down than the deepest ocean. Get me away from all this noise to somewhere it's quiet. Please take me to a place where you can only hear your breathing and blinking. I want to set my foot down on a land where no human has walked.

Let me walk in an empty meadow or an unfound forest. Let me breathe the fresh air. Air that is so pure and refreshing. The air that cleans your nostrils and lungs with every inhale.

Let me watch the beautiful scenery. Where the grass is greener than the color, and the sky is brighter than a diamond. And with every step I take, I want to see a new flower bloom. Whether the flower is blue, yellow, or red- I don't care. I want to see them decorate the land. I want to see yellow, orange, red, and brown leaves fall. I want to become mesmerized by them.

And let me touch the trees. I want to feel the oak tree's bark under my soft touch. I want to feel every rough edge and every resin drop. I want to take in the forest scent. I want to inhale the wood scent, the crisp air, and the fragrance of the damp leaves on the ground.

I want to see you there as well. Your face with a soft and subtle smile, looking over at me. I want to see your hair getting messed up by the wind. Let me watch and observe your actions. How you react to the scenery, how you lay on the grass, and how your face will hold a subtle smile when you feel at ease.

You lay down on the blanket we took along with us. The red and soft blanket fit in with the colorful leaves on the ground. I remember the night when we bought it. You came home with a bag full of snacks in one hand and the blanket under the other. You were so proud of yourself, smiling like a kid who had just won a running competition. That night, we had a movie marathon where we watched all of our favorite movies.

I lay down beside you. You take my hand in yours and caress it with your thumb. I've always liked that. I like the way it calms me down and makes me feel grounded. It's funny how such a small act means so much.

My body relaxes when you pull me towards you. I study your face. I examine your eyes, lips, cheeks, nose, and brows. They make you the person I want to know for the rest of my life.

"What are you looking for?" you ask me quietly. "I'm looking for," I pause and continue with a small smile, "I'm looking for answers. Answers to the question of how you are so beautiful." You start to laugh. Your face now holds a pleased smirk.

"That, my love, is a question that will remain unanswered."

I don't know what to say, so I stay quiet. I stayed quiet so I could enjoy your presence.

A bird starts chirping in the distance. Many others join as well. I turn my head toward the voice. "I wonder what they're chirping about," I say. You are almost 100% sure that the birds are talking about what to have for dinner. I chuckle and lie down on my back beside you.

The humid air is soft and warm. I close my eyes and allow myself to become one with Nature. Your hand lands on my waist and holds me tightly. I can tell by your touch that you don't want to let go of me. At least not anytime soon. My eyes grow heavier, and soon enough sleep welcomes me.

"Sleep well. Me and Nature will both protect you," is the last thing I hear you say before falling asleep. I feel safe and grateful. I feel thankful that I have found a human who understands me and doesn't make me feel stupid for not understanding something. Thank you for that.

I hope that this chapter brightened your day a little. I don't know who needs to hear this but:

You are important and you deserve anything that you want. Please remember that. Just know that even on bad days you are loved, and if you don't feel like you are then know this- I care about you. If you want to vent/ramble to someone but don't want to message a friend, then I'll listen. I'll listen, and if you need/want I'll offer solutions. But do remember that you are loved.

Love you all loads and have an amazing morning/day/evening/night <33333
