Little Things
What defines a relationship for you
Acts of kindness
Grand emotion
Sweeping engagement
I think we each have a place
Somewhere inside
That defines a relationship
In our own way
I was thinking about it
And challenged myself
With that question
What defines it for me
My answer surprised me
But not really
Because I’m mostly introspective
When it comes to me
My answer was the little things
Those things
You almost take for granted
Until they’re not there
Holding hands
A back rub
Scratching your head
Until you drift off to sleep
It’s not places and people
It’s touches and smells
Senses shared
And a passion as one
You can’t take it with you
So while you’re here
Enjoy all the little things
They can add up to a very big life
