basil on eggs
dark chocolate
hugs from behind
you tying my shoelaces
your hand on my waist
"baby did you eat today"
kisses on my insecurities
"you should get some sleep"
sitting on your kitchen counter
"you're so beautiful"
even though it's 6am
"just five more minutes"
always five more minutesmaybe that's all love is
