(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.
I love this!
