the art of watching someone you like
drink their coffee slowly,
take their time walking ahead of you,
watching something that pulls their attention,
noticing how their eyes light up when they see a sunset,
how they soften when a puppy passes by,
or when they spot a pretty flower.

it’s in the small details
the blink after a big scoop of ice cream,
the quiet when something bothers them,
the pause when they can’t remember
which song they wanted to play next.

observing.
noticing.
loving, quietly.
