The Little Things

It’s always the little things we remember

The crease next to your eye

Your favorite breakfast

The way you adore your sister

I could list your favorite movies

In order

And why you love them

I remember

Even though you only told me once.

I know you hate orange

And masks scare the hell out of you

You went to summer camp for two days when you were twelve

But you broke your arm and came right back home

You only drink water

No lemon

And your posture is atrocious

You love learning

And you’re wicked smart

But you doubt yourself

And you don’t know how amazing you are

You love puns

And stupid jokes

And you laugh at every one of mine

And I always wonder if you actually think they’re funny

Or if you just like to humor me

You hate olives

You live for the gym

And you would die before letting anyone see your middle school pictures

It’s so funny

But I guess it’s typical

Because we always remember the little things.
