The simplest thing

It was a day like any other, the day I found out I love you.

You held my hands across the road and annoyingly told me I'd die without you because I cross without looking, the day I found out I love you.

You let no disappointment show on your face when my plan for us fell on our face and instead excitedly spoke about my favourite pasta place, the day I found out I love you.

You joked easily and happily about everything and anything, the day I found out I love you.

You got us a seat and tried to order me chamomile tea a la our first date, the day I found out I love you.

You reached across the table and held my hand saying this is our second first date, the day I found out I love you.

You spoke keenly and intelligently about interstellar and the complex science behind higher dimensions, the day I found out I love you.

You told me about your plate-tastic day while we made our way to the train, the day I found out I love you.

You did not react in the same disgusted way as everyone else in the train when a heavyset man barged noisily in and agreed when I said that that was our improvised comedy night, the day I found out I love you.

You gave me the nice leaning spot on the train and we read the news together (you very very slowly and me quickly heh), the day I found out I love you.

You shared with me your latest jam, Angels and Airwaves and listened to my Twenty One Pilots intently, the day I found out I love you.

You destroyed my favourite line as you misheard the lyrics to, "I will make you clean up everything you see" so in turn I told you Angels and Airwaves sounded whiny and un-Blink 182ish, the day I found out I love you.

You then dragged up a time where I declared, "bassists do not get laid!" and played the infectiously groovy +44 to prove your point, the day I found out I love you.

You came into the room and quietly whispered a secret to me and I told you what we should do to spite your little secret and you wore all the delight of a child, the day I found out I love you.

You crept up behind me and asked why I was stealing your hot water and smiled the cheekiest smile when I replied you with the single word, "guess", the day I found out I love you.

You told me you loved me in between breaths and positions (heh heh), the day I found out I love you.

You watched me clean up your room and happily reminded me that I signed up for this, the day I found out I love you.

You cuddled with me and started telling me about Naruto spoilers, the day I found out I love you.

You explained the story of the mother of chakra and laughed when you saw me diligently wikia-ing it, the day I found out I love you.

You subconsciously kept grabbing the bolster between us when I left it alone to get the blanket and when I grumbled that you are stealing my bolster, you mumbled "your bolster?" and let me have it anyway, the day I found out I love you.

You grudgingly spooned me after slapping all my hair away from your face and interlaced both my hands with yours and I fell asleep loved and content, the day I found out I love you.

You woke me up with delicate kisses and told me you made breakfast for me, the day I found out I love you.

You would never know how much joy you bring me and how often the days come where I find out how much I love you.


I do Gabriel.

Forever and always.
