a dreamy ❀ pastel-tinted love song about sharing an imaginary picnic ♡ with someone who only exists in your daydreams—soft, sweet, and a little bit lonely ⋆｡°✩.

[verse 1]
you bring the basket, i bring the tea
checkered blanket, just you and me
sunlight dancing on your cheeks
but only when i close my eyes to sleep

[pre-chorus]
your laugh is warm like honeydew
i made it up but it still feels true

[chorus]
picnic in my head, you're holding my hand
talking like lovers under skies so bland
lemon tarts and daydreams, stories we never said
i know it’s fake—but i blush anyway, red

[verse 2]
you tilt your head, the clouds go still
i pour the lemonade, you get your fill
you tell me things you’ll never say
and i believe it anyway

[pre-chorus]
you smile like it’s always spring
you’re not real, but you mean everything

[chorus]
picnic in my head, you're twirling in bloom
laughing in the corner of my pastel room
minty air and cotton skies, a world i thread
stitched together with thoughts i’ve never said
you’re not here, and that’s okay
i’ll love you in my mind today

picnic with you

a slow, flower-wilted daydream of a future with you—soft, imagined, and already fading at the edges like petals left too long in the sun ⋆₊❀₊⋆.

[verse 1]
i pictured us in a house with vines,
mugs left out, your hand in mine.
sunlight flooding an old wood floor,
a life we’ll never ask for more.

[pre-chorus]
but even dreams begin to fade,
like roses left in too much shade.

[chorus]
i saw forever in your eyes,
but flowers bloom just once, then die.
we’re perfect in a world i’ve drawn,
but every petal’s coming undone.

[verse 2]
you said my name in morning light,
i felt like spring, so soft, so right.
but i can feel the edges curl—
sweet things spoil in a perfect world.

[chorus]
i saw forever in your eyes,
but flowers bloom just once, then die.
our garden grows in painted thought,
but underneath, it’s turning rot.

[outro]
and if we never make it there,
just know i loved you, soft and fair—
in dreams that wilt and fall apart,
you bloomed and rotted in my heart.




a future that withered

a tender, imagined future with someone who was never really yours—still warm, still echoing, even as the dream fades.

[verse 1]
i see us in a kitchen
burnt toast, 9am light
you laughing in your sweatshirt
like everything’s alright
i reach for you but nothing’s there
just sunlight on an empty chair

[pre-Chorus]
is it wrong to keep pretending?
to write a life that’s never ending?

[chorus]
someday, maybe
i’ll wake beside you
you’ll kiss my eyelids
like you always do
but right now it’s quiet
and the dream fades slow
i built a future
you’ll never know

[verse 2]
you liked daisies, i remember
so i planted them in june
just in case you ever wandered
into this imagined room
i made space for all your things
your books, your ring, your everything

[pre-chorus]
does it count if i believed it?
if in my heart, you really lived it?

[chorus]
someday, maybe
i’ll wake beside you
you’ll kiss my eyelids
like you always do
but right now it’s quiet
and the dream fades slow
i built a future
you’ll never know

[bridge]
you never asked for forever
but i gave you all my time
and in my silent little someday
you were already mine

[final Chorus]
someday, maybe
we’ll laugh about this
you’ll hold my hand
like you used to wish
but if not, i’ll carry
the ghost of you slow—
the aching of dreaming
what you'll never know
