the little things

Unexpected hug as I cook dinner

A glancing touch as you walk by

A post it note by the door telling me to have a good day

A text out of the blue during the day

Taking my hand as we walk through the city

Surprise weekend away, just because

A bathtub full of bubbles drawn

Colourful flowers on the counter
