It’s never about flowers or fancy words.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WVKBzhN70
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU3uEgeirl
Not even about saying “I love you” every day.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURLBYPbDEg
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XcIcU6INp
It’s quieter than that.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtQgzq2efJ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66U2aDWEix
Softer.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXpOuWRR2J
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wSRu778EY
But it stays with me longer than anything else.
It’s when he sends a message at 3 AM,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mSz5HB0nZ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDuTVf2uuF
just because he saw something that reminded him of me.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDSdSfOG4P
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9YcJ5TTxe
He doesn’t say “I miss you” —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKH69NYhOU
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPZVamcsoW
he says,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpPhexfgIl
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9biYlQ79Y
"I saw someone with your hair today. It made me smile."14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqzH22NaA
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENSmsbWAmn
And I smile too.
It’s how he notices my moods —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B7IVrNXAl
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7uOWUEiq9
even through a screen.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVi8Qba3rU
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICMGMtIRpZ
"You’re a bit distant today,"14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi2R5dlg3l
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok6yAhLPV6
he’ll say,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQkDrIEQOr
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HwufJAEr9
“Did something happen?”14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqxOEEUWXQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgb6KA6DBi
He doesn’t push.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nu73wu6DQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT92FntO9qB
He just waits until I’m ready.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvsmx4V0mY
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxTSQ2fJx
And somehow, he always knows.
He remembers my little habits.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrbtanjpi2
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs5pyw2p2f
Like how I avoid calls when I’m tired.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21HDZaNFFM
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IxfUz0rEv
Or how I overthink messages.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETPMvExRUL
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUdMH3VDjt
So he sends the simplest ones —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKhyCpMPW8
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqilt1rHtgN
no pressure, no overthinking needed.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV4iI5nO9X
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaCjYvEClj
Just: “I’m here. Talk to me when you can.”
Sometimes, he shows me the sky in his city,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilygzEaHHG
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QP10YehBv
and says,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiekbPzDpi
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJMG5coigM
"Do you think we're both under the same stars right now?"14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89nvbC1vUi
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh4WQvSirp
It’s cheesy —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYDuCrNwyq
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fVeZNdAbz
but it warms something inside me I didn’t know was cold.
He doesn’t send poems.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8cjSPyQ7I
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zGuyGILm
He doesn’t flood me with compliments.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYPY6GBLhy
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4NLyYBxn
But he remembers when I have something important,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF119xqW6S
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbDHFL9OFj
and says “don’t stress, you’ve got this.”14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBYq1Tj5O0
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwRbfGBORe
Then he waits to hear how it went, like it matters to him —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5XgPNvUdP
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrjfKRbkQs
because it does.
He asks if I ate.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCwU2VVBdE
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh0QGjxlWW
If I slept enough.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFQt7XJIc
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm60ew1FV2
If I took a break.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDrOZFCGS2
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY3xtaklch
Not because he’s trying to impress me.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIe48b9Xxg
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9mjvnVIBj
But because he cares, in that quiet way that feels like home.
He doesn’t try to melt my heart.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmAS5yMhHn
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYavCd9GML
But somehow, he does —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ5nTTRNRx
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cFv3SjzsS
one small, unexpected moment at a time.
And that’s what makes it real.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTvLx0V05O
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTUP2EHRR
Not the loud love.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aEankqs4V
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhEgDYIY9s
But the love that stays in the small spaces.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMzuGl0t1C
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPFUTdcHpb
In a text.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo4Y5hJZ8B
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE0UxCfSwu
In a pause.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslsfPrf11
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cbCN6mSVi
In the way he chooses me —14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVSPLN4U7h
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk0muiXv02
even when it’s not said out loud.
