you are rain.
you are chinese food at 4 pm.
you are otter pictures when I'm stressed and
a warm hug just because.
you are surprise chocolate at 6:30 pm on a wednesday.
you are help baking cookies and
a kiss on the forehead when you think I'm cute.
you are mismatching socks and
a messy room covered in laundry and partially read books.
you are corny jokes i shouldn't laugh at and
endless ****** innuendos.
you are an oversized sweater on a cold night and
an "I make awesome pancakes" in the morning.
you are infinite compliments and
a brush of hair out of my face.
you are a "get home safe" and
a piggyback ride in my apartment.
you are my ponytail holder as i throw up everything,
too drunk to remember much, except you holding my hand.
you are an open door held for me and
a noticing of the green in my eyes.
you are an adventurer at sunset and
a "hold my coffee please" on the way to class.
you are the keeper of all my secrets and
a rememberer of everything i say.
you are the 96 on that difficult essay and
the only person who could get me into politics.
you are the sad songs at 2 am and
the guitar chords i love almost as much as your voice.
you are my first kiss in the rain which is now
an item checked off my bucket list.

you are more than i could've asked for.
