• moonlit walks on the beach
  • unforeseen wistfulness
  • "Stardust" by Nat King Cole
    • or any Nat song, for that matter
  • daydreams that play out like scenarios from romantic films
  • imagined slow-dancing
    • his hands lingering on the small of my back, barely brushing the tender skin there
  • Vashti Bunyan's whisper-esque vocal
  • whisper-light, airy dresses
    • or any lovely dress worn on a daydreamed date
  • full moons that fill the heart with longing and the eyes with tears
  • crying spells that end in an all-encompassing relaxation of the body and mind
  • Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled album
  • classic films that make love oh-so covetable
  • historic romances that offer inspiration and longing
  • romantic thoughts that tug at the corners of the mouth, threatening uncontrollable smiles and rosy cheeks
  • demure wedding dresses and weddings attended by a classily dressed multitude
    • much like wedding-goers in classic films
  • thoughts of him I have never met but feel I know absolutely
  • bashful smiles exchanged with admiring male strangers
  • tragic figures who radiated remarkable beauty from the interior and on the exterior
    • preferably Nick Drake
  • reflecting on what could someday be and then realizing, with tears, that it could never come to fruition
  • hopelessly hopeless romanticism
  • mourning brooches with locks of beloveds' hair woven inside
