13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHLfToUkbq
It’s never about flowers or fancy words.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLHWABbF1D
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GEdse1HlV
Not even about saying “I love you” every day.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRYjIeDxcr
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4s7nNj2x3
It’s quieter than that.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC3nOv6CaY
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWrHN4pz8u
Softer.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi1SGO5W8M
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyehgBS3qIQ
But it stays with me longer than anything else.
It’s when he sends a message at 3 AM,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcUvHdHyQw
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqdUiISL0H
just because he saw something that reminded him of me.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs96a5MOuN
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOhtZ4r5tO
He doesn’t say “I miss you” —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX2cjEvumk
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNOdeSySeF
he says,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1zGxR3xot
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE6tw04yfV
"I saw someone with your hair today. It made me smile."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKfXU8hZ3
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTIzNZsRJV
And I smile too.
It’s how he notices my moods —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtoo9KvnlY
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8H5Dj1Bqw
even through a screen.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h7SQHTbXn
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeePhhhOMQz
"You’re a bit distant today,"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l4IQPY49V
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL1jZGf7Ro
he’ll say,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VA4V0GAAN
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIVvwsn8o5
“Did something happen?”13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkWrCFRPxL
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKho2aOT1A
He doesn’t push.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEmCHSNmyx
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCPqhD3ixO
He just waits until I’m ready.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTRzIPBHtP
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRzx60E2od
And somehow, he always knows.
He remembers my little habits.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvOVfKvL6Z
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0BQacBsmW
Like how I avoid calls when I’m tired.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vbywIi3M
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJvQ8bFjZ
Or how I overthink messages.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNgCJUaDN
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgkc0RgVIe
So he sends the simplest ones —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwubSszjje
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HjbpR76UA
no pressure, no overthinking needed.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41NUcCFwUV
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2dPUUhSU
Just: “I’m here. Talk to me when you can.”
Sometimes, he shows me the sky in his city,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GFRm4EQv8
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0anU7tyV
and says,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU31tZlOnfZ
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn4Cv5c959
"Do you think we're both under the same stars right now?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1u6kblPII
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGiAlaukqX
It’s cheesy —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEqCkKlar
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfsI7jcIof
but it warms something inside me I didn’t know was cold.
He doesn’t send poems.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SIXQCwZQ3
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3FPOIcHf1
He doesn’t flood me with compliments.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GihSUUXr3
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz8gOdvtt6
But he remembers when I have something important,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWWpNuIduh
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbK5USSoDs
and says “don’t stress, you’ve got this.”13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPMUm6n0Vn
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uTmRUZIfg
Then he waits to hear how it went, like it matters to him —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0b7JV7nJN
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVo3KHfyEa
because it does.
He asks if I ate.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PXOrwQh0J
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAneElYVTq
If I slept enough.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgnA35WpnY
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2BaPjhvAY
If I took a break.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo3R7lF4uG
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbAMuTmBKv
Not because he’s trying to impress me.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFofpjBXBg
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASkpewPu7S
But because he cares, in that quiet way that feels like home.
He doesn’t try to melt my heart.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0xkVWKa3E
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZY0DXChju
But somehow, he does —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWelaWznsYn
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXmaCZbBK9
one small, unexpected moment at a time.
And that’s what makes it real.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqTUC15LQ5
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO7ppJLKcN
Not the loud love.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmuVvFvSw
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUufpUtqw5
But the love that stays in the small spaces.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PfHwDaA9
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLdR2p4UyR
In a text.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nNiHhNcpk
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QRYOsyXfs
In a pause.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG0PDAZX4C
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcl5FVM9cn
In the way he chooses me —13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ425C8IdbGI
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCd4CfGLwv
even when it’s not said out loud.
