that patch of hair just beneath your navel. how you can make me laugh even when i'm upset. the way you sing in the shower like no one is listening. when you let mina or river beat you at candyland. & watching how you interact with them. planning a future with you. falling asleep to the sound of your breathing. late nights curled into your side. making everything an adventure, even if we're just going to the bodega. kisses in the rain. slow dancing on the sidewalk. the way your smile can light up an entire room. later mornings when i get to try to will you back to bed. marks on hips, on necks, on chests. getting to watch you on stage. the way we fit together. being able to trust you with the aux on road trips. your impulsivity. your eyes. sentimental dreams jack at 2am. how warm your hugs are. & how inherently safe you make me feel. your cooking. your endearing clumsiness. being blessed enough to be loved by you for a lifetime.
