You are the reason I know what real love feels like
Not the breakfast in beds and favourite chocolates, because everybody knows that
It’s the last dumpling left on the plate, after we spent 5 hours making them because we’re not
very good
The cup of water brought to my side after I cried watching that one film, and the tissues that
followed along with it
Or the bowl of potato soup I came home too after telling you I missed my mum’s cooking. I
still don’t know how you got the recipe from her.
But more than that, it’s when we serenade each other in the bathroom because that’s where
the best acoustics are,
When you join in on my silly antics just to make me feel happy,
And most of all, when, even whilst you’re asleep, your hands venture out to reach mine, just
to hold them a little longer.
One of my personal faves! - Saul
