"hey. you probably know who this is already. im not even sure why i called, honestly. i guess i just... wanted to hear your voice. which, in retrospect, is stupid, because i knew you wouldn't answer. im starting to forget what your voice sounds like though, so i had to try. but i-i haven't forgotten the important things.
i still remember our first date, and the way you purse your lips when you're concentrating, how you always sleep on your right side when it rains. does she know all that? does she know you always put your left contact in first? does she know about that sensitive spot just below your right collar bone? or that you love the smell of lavender?
does she notice any of the small things? i bet that even if she did, she wouldn't appreciate them nearly as much as i do."
