It’s never about flowers or fancy words.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJiyw6mfO9
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxiruWuop8
Not even about saying “I love you” every day.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUxjw50OZG
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlUyGiW76J
It’s quieter than that.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHpxxaK6JG
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3txYKwXbD
Softer.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7xAjWhzqc
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK29PmOZ09
But it stays with me longer than anything else.
It’s when he sends a message at 3 AM,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY5rCL5B0i
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKJ78w5H5
just because he saw something that reminded him of me.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREeCs8F8Wp
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvwpXwu4Bw
He doesn’t say “I miss you” —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbQfwIBJLk
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXhuH87twG
he says,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277cQOSK1I
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj5fHLooth
"I saw someone with your hair today. It made me smile."17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ461bAHJr3t
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7V7SvAkdK
And I smile too.
It’s how he notices my moods —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQVBXWOHSu
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXO9CNYFEw
even through a screen.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAWHOdOBNB
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoBWXiiT40
"You’re a bit distant today,"17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2gfvIaO6C
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM4wbxaLpC
he’ll say,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWUBpPG7rW
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr4jCaQtKO
“Did something happen?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzerERRIX6k
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHAa98AmGv
He doesn’t push.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLT6bXknTg
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRdo55Elpu
He just waits until I’m ready.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPyucaVfwl
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS0Rhk1M3A
And somehow, he always knows.
He remembers my little habits.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJYeCCMsux
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjN1TRxSe
Like how I avoid calls when I’m tired.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0vI2kL9p
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jnBbDE8X
Or how I overthink messages.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQOLihSteK
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP99KkPyZW
So he sends the simplest ones —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hGc8JIEZs
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXfZCYBcVF
no pressure, no overthinking needed.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRVkSdEnLo
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu5tZgPVxr
Just: “I’m here. Talk to me when you can.”
Sometimes, he shows me the sky in his city,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09HdPW1aAm
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95AsPlzFBG
and says,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TfcYZLd79
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdSbu1urT
"Do you think we're both under the same stars right now?"17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAGAhgbBlA
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbPM5JYsLC
It’s cheesy —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4pWyZOrzR
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhHCarCsjo
but it warms something inside me I didn’t know was cold.
He doesn’t send poems.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiskax1bBP
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSYHlH2vlg
He doesn’t flood me with compliments.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AjK4uLDLP
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsgQbkZKvX
But he remembers when I have something important,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv0hF1b87z
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGaLLTVten
and says “don’t stress, you’ve got this.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiGqljjddB
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeih4rnIoq
Then he waits to hear how it went, like it matters to him —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRKgi44eHD
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo5QiWybOr
because it does.
He asks if I ate.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0Jeye2Db
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFtR69oFKO
If I slept enough.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFEhJ3eTu
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioEALtFg7E
If I took a break.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWU0lmAP8V
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKm0evyqVf
Not because he’s trying to impress me.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInLavotszI
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcijmONwYX
But because he cares, in that quiet way that feels like home.
He doesn’t try to melt my heart.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPJObSySdc
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahDxIRdUqD
But somehow, he does —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxpRtm7xIf
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJKJjdTvz
one small, unexpected moment at a time.
And that’s what makes it real.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaib5ZU6I7u
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAyqrdqfAi
Not the loud love.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqq1vd0sgL
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2FohSb1XR
But the love that stays in the small spaces.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeUxckKpzI
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlBxMy2yYr
In a text.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08vJkp5yIC
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq1lsy6x1W
In a pause.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zMD3CsdtB
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsDm9LBKPH
In the way he chooses me —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOArbMGqamP
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAqD42g58
even when it’s not said out loud.
