the lights going down in a theatre when the movie is about to start
the way a room full of people can hold its breath
casual desk chats with my coworkers
lying on my bed with my closest friends after a night out dancing
brushing skin with beautiful people on my way to the bathroom
handshakes from new people
sitting in a crowded train where no one speaks a word
crying in the bar when girls just wanna have fun comes on
nights full of wine and movies and jokes with friends
watching everyone run inside when it starts to rain
being in a loud and warm restaurant after just the right combination of alcohol and food
hearts packed together pretending we're all alone
hugs from my family and friends
playful cheek kisses
the kindness of drunk girls in the bathroom
something weird or funny happening on the train and everyone looking at each other trying not to laugh
listening to new music as the city goes by my window
seeing how happy people get when their food finally comes
quips we say to no one in particular
hugging in the street before getting into an uber
sitting in a cafe for hours talking about the state of the world
how everyone seems to be smiling on a sunny and nice day
the look on anyone's face when they tell me it's going to be okay
