There’s something I REALLY want to Tell you all

Ever since I watched Titanic for the first time, that iconic car scene has lived rent-free in my head. You know the one the steamy window, the tension, the intensity of two people completely lost in each other. I swear, ever since then, I’ve always fantasized about what it would feel like to experience something like that in real life.

I’ve imagined falling in love with someone deeply, someone who makes me feel alive and safe all at once. And then I picture us in that moment in a car, in the middle of nowhere, completely alone, hearts racing. I think about every detail: the kind of car it would be, how the air feels, whether the windows would fog up from the heat or if it would be freezing outside and our breath would hang in the air.

Sometimes in my head it’s late, like 2 a.m., the car parked in an empty grocery store lot. It’s cold maybe around 30 degrees and we’re wrapped up in each other, oblivious to everything else. There’s something so cinematic about it, so emotional. It’s not even just about the act itself, it’s about the closeness, the intensity, the quiet privacy of being in a small space where the whole world disappears.

I’ve probably built up this fantasy way too much in my head, but it’s been with me for years. It’s strange how a single movie scene can plant something in your imagination that never really leaves.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’ve always associated that scene with something more than lust it’s intimacy, passion, love, and freedom all at once. I don’t even know if real life could ever feel that perfect, but part of me still hopes one day it will.
