The Little Things

When we love someone it’s all the little seemingly insignificant things that we come to love. You know all the characteristics about them that no one else picks up on but us because we love them, and it’s the collection of all those things that makes our love for them so strong.

Like eyes, those very ones that hundreds of people would have stared into at some point, but when we do it we see something far deeper and in time it becomes like a precious gem that we love to see sparkle. We learn to read everything about this person we love through their eyes alone.

It’s that smile that to the outside world is just a smile but to us it’s not just a smile, because we know there's always something that lies behind that smile. We hope it’s us that makes them smile so, and we distinguish the meaning of each and every variant of that smile that is seemingly the same to the outside world.

It’s all the little things that no one but you would know or pick up on, it’s the crinkle in their nose when they laugh. It’s the way they say your name unlike anyone else. The way they raise an eyebrow when they tell a lie. The way they have to sleep on a certain side in a certain position. The way they have a favorite top that has a ton of holes in which you tickle them through. it’s all the freckles they have that you’ve made a map of in your mind. It’s the way you can stare at each other for hours and not say a word. It’s all those little things that mean nothing to anyone else but you. That’s what makes love so great. Don’t take them for granted because you never know how easily they can be gone.
