It’s never about flowers or fancy words.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnLoQGIaAq
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML5Y3POxT4
Not even about saying “I love you” every day.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfE543yCJ2
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRQz3WjxjR
It’s quieter than that.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IcByMbEj0
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IyExpS9pL
Softer.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC3pcQnHxP
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZKSLtAZg
But it stays with me longer than anything else.
It’s when he sends a message at 3 AM,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbeRJFzC0W
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ01YvhpiZ
just because he saw something that reminded him of me.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe06ecyjK0V
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWWt0QCV7
He doesn’t say “I miss you” —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBQ9pOdss9
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS04fyzQzz
he says,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHHwskasyX
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuosA88L76X
"I saw someone with your hair today. It made me smile."9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidw4T4yzQA
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIv9HScDDz
And I smile too.
It’s how he notices my moods —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4n6TpdfV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXQMUJoLBD
even through a screen.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7rGqLe4X3
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6J42TbRUo
"You’re a bit distant today,"9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqZCnnQPQD
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd7UE2eqKZ
he’ll say,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBORk9ruF86
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3geO7janN
“Did something happen?”9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfLKNXyUrL
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUiInPfWb
He doesn’t push.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYGLKX63Gg
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIFx8efzRL
He just waits until I’m ready.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ej20eArv
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PV9nwp8nh
And somehow, he always knows.
He remembers my little habits.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtsqdcpxfZ
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK9bfOs8vK
Like how I avoid calls when I’m tired.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTaxLTxI2E
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itLmAIIcL
Or how I overthink messages.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qKwb2CyVA
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZNNf2lLyr
So he sends the simplest ones —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8RUtx5UMs
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdDPSIQCC2
no pressure, no overthinking needed.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0jrSUJy53
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRIO88WIFq
Just: “I’m here. Talk to me when you can.”
Sometimes, he shows me the sky in his city,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u2BCAQ1aV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ539FnBDfqs
and says,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkHXK0Dz3i
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7hIur1aiZ
"Do you think we're both under the same stars right now?"9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL81yTlhIb
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKCkku03iC
It’s cheesy —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr1EKr4qk4
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g2onecYwX
but it warms something inside me I didn’t know was cold.
He doesn’t send poems.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3F5UZad8E
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZu4PzE4Mg
He doesn’t flood me with compliments.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL5Xo36sZg
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmy8ic4Y2M
But he remembers when I have something important,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJbvSsWoIg
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF42hlLttL
and says “don’t stress, you’ve got this.”9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdWrQVpFvv
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwxcSQu9ir
Then he waits to hear how it went, like it matters to him —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4HIpPPV4N
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLaJkmGoZs
because it does.
He asks if I ate.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSyCjlWJ4S
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxSKCbr1jF
If I slept enough.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82p28lKgrD
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8rh48yDYh
If I took a break.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR27HeJ8xy
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKwJ7OfVKI
Not because he’s trying to impress me.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5mbQfjlKX
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmCiTOk3Z
But because he cares, in that quiet way that feels like home.
He doesn’t try to melt my heart.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdRfxAk9h1
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXvuRVITp7
But somehow, he does —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPip2xd0mO4
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFlIhdxZKj
one small, unexpected moment at a time.
And that’s what makes it real.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu8kVydzSk
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡownixWN2Tz
Not the loud love.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeQLVMemtV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Kf8xbx9j
But the love that stays in the small spaces.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq6WWzqjrG
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcKxm1yeTH
In a text.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPFDEn4gLn
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvImZeANvds
In a pause.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3PnoM1bfo
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEXaRaoxNe
In the way he chooses me —9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s7vKLxuaS
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzFTh6mwQx
even when it’s not said out loud.
