It’s never about flowers or fancy words.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnKSpSltMw
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuZmNT9we7
Not even about saying “I love you” every day.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXfWvphsK8
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PqAMsb7od
It’s quieter than that.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwek5Mu0S86
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OlBy0ZL9F
Softer.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmuQibo27
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOkjrTvhYH
But it stays with me longer than anything else.
It’s when he sends a message at 3 AM,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmuB76mPFJ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkJSErWlBC
just because he saw something that reminded him of me.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3paqSsvvRM
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5sA7McGsb
He doesn’t say “I miss you” —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPM6FQMyuB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhr7t2xENg
he says,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlAXHRyWM3
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwMBjl2cXL
"I saw someone with your hair today. It made me smile."8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2QZ2zWXtE
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5MrnEbylI
And I smile too.
It’s how he notices my moods —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8c8Ahcb4H
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SI71Py3FM
even through a screen.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTwSiT1Hwz
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrAnYGt0JN
"You’re a bit distant today,"8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZWdzeOHWz
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoKUBBxLrD
he’ll say,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbe2S2O3x
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuac0b3kYkH
“Did something happen?”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8zN38tcb
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtYvmDicI2
He doesn’t push.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQkLOUZ2bs
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBun2RVp7G
He just waits until I’m ready.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFKzERjPgF
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVFj2Xw6P5
And somehow, he always knows.
He remembers my little habits.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDBwmjH8oj
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wyAf4DYl
Like how I avoid calls when I’m tired.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DXaD9zUFN
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85V94uyId
Or how I overthink messages.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSelFEsIxR5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VyefeJBCR
So he sends the simplest ones —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVVUiNeToa
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GqOtNjOMd
no pressure, no overthinking needed.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MHrejesyh
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2UUOsjZ09
Just: “I’m here. Talk to me when you can.”
Sometimes, he shows me the sky in his city,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaFD3AfMsL
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjm2LxxBjo
and says,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uncROR4qs
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aHhClR6ae
"Do you think we're both under the same stars right now?"8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LIsdpptum
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHWwcoDjRd
It’s cheesy —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGfX5xXhnB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpie8sjKYKi
but it warms something inside me I didn’t know was cold.
He doesn’t send poems.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eK6vnEBy7
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkws2axfxyY
He doesn’t flood me with compliments.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3IxUs0zvY
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZOOgoaBF
But he remembers when I have something important,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpffWhlinYi
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR67mIHVm4c
and says “don’t stress, you’ve got this.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dolxJSznd
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayDE6rd7Vd
Then he waits to hear how it went, like it matters to him —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5zRQQolA1
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbsfOmMzgB
because it does.
He asks if I ate.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpPMuoDCqJ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbWGm4FZLB
If I slept enough.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOoFDl6Pv4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalieVCe2vA
If I took a break.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZWoSoXcIP
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL88izqXbp8
Not because he’s trying to impress me.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IBtD5uOYc
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNn1yZU9lw
But because he cares, in that quiet way that feels like home.
He doesn’t try to melt my heart.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwAHqpLyjO
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbEYt7Brfd
But somehow, he does —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBifb0vuV5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4dgZkjmH4
one small, unexpected moment at a time.
And that’s what makes it real.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVm4OzPFXq
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzAqjIUcet
Not the loud love.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP87RXAOXox
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fhUtVIa1a
But the love that stays in the small spaces.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01CG4GH7Ai
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7AH01enwB
In a text.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c03PWsHhm
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5tZf8ietO
In a pause.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfKwgYNQGh
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7GDryv0GD
In the way he chooses me —8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPysU7omurH
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K6sfavERY
even when it’s not said out loud.
