Little Things

 


There is much beauty in the little things.

The way your face lights up when you’re excited

It starts with a small smile and continues to be a wide grin that can brighten any day.

How your fingers get jittery before an important event.

It could be a test, a presentation, or a performance, but your fingers will always receive the urge to move. They’d either snap, or tap against the table, or work with the rest of your hand to clench.

Your instant reflex to open and hold doors or pull out a chair for someone

Whether it’s me, my friend, or a stranger, there’s never a day when you’re not moral or polite.

The “good morning” texts I receive everyday

Sometimes they’re beautiful paragraphs, sometimes it’s something short and sweet, and on other days, it’s a simple good morning followed by a heart (emoji).

The way we embrace when meeting and before parting ways

Your hands always linger near the small of my back for a second or two while you look into my eyes and smile.

There is much beauty in the little things.

Simple actions accumulated and before I knew it,

I found someone that I love.
