Observation #13, 11/6: Home


(Theme: Loss & Gain)

It’s the little things, maybe even the littlest things. The songs that make me think of the movies that make me think of you. The smell of a certain something cooking. A casual mention of one of your favorite books in an overheard conversation. Cutting open a pomegranate and remembering that time when the juice turned my fingers black under the fluorescents and we stood there in Rite-Aid, puzzling over what could have turned my cuticles so dark, laughing aloud with the joy of recognition when I realized. Hearing the words I most needed to hear and getting weepy, even though we were in the car.

I might have lost everything at the time, but I gained you back.
