Trivialities (Me Next To You)

I have always been interested in the

minutiae of things

The details, the who

when where what

I have done my best to ignore the why

it is easier to make the

small things big

I am just now seeing the specifics of people

That really it is the small things that

create big ones

A smile that leads to friendship

A kiss

that leads to love

The details of you are more

fascinating

than any big-picture version could ever be

You breathe heavier just before you wake up

Did you know?

When you laugh the lines

run deeper in your face than any ocean

I did not realize it was

possible

for something so small to hold so much meaning

A glance or a whisper or a single breath against my chest

can grip me for days

I am consumed by you
