the hum of a coffee grinder and suddenly air that smells of roasted coffee. warm breath on a cold night, walking outside. on the floor, laughing so much. mixing teal with gray then lilac, from that one afternoon of painting sunsets with oil paints. kisses on the forehead then eyelids, then cheeks, then nose and ears. a big nap in a hotel room after a morning of wandering around. naturally, wordlessly falling into making love at dawn. the beach with a beer, or maybe tea as the sun dissolves into nothingness. a car ride and a favorite song in a rainy midday. absolutely forgetting something sad you thought you would never forget. flowers gifted on an ordinary day. stories of good things happening to good people. cold floors.
