The first time you reached for my hand
in the quiet dark of the wings.
When you pulled me close
as we watched the Christmas lights dance.
And then the ride home
when you held my hand while you drove
and kissed my fingers as I dozed off in the passenger seat.
The tingles that shot down my whole body
when you kissed my forehead.
How big you smiled
when I gave you a peck on the cheek the next day.
The way you looked at me
when we were supposed to be getting a mop out of the janitor's closet
and you covered my cheeks with kisses instead.
The way we fit together like puzzle pieces
and paid no attention to the movie.
Your pulse in your neck
as I snuggled closer,
and the way you just breathed deep with your face in my hair.
In all these little moments,
you filled all my gaps and put all of my broken pieces back together.
If only you could know how much I long
to live forever in these moments.
If only you could know how much I love you.
