I Think It's...

Sweet when people wave good bye without actually waving, with just a firm hand, like a frozen high-five.

 

Sweet when your friends and your other friends get along so well that it doesn't feel like you introduced them to each other, like they'd known each other forever. Friends-in-law.

 

Sweet when you receive presents that may otherwise be extraordinarily ordinary, and yet are just what you need or want. Like bookends. A snapshot of you in mid-laugh. A candy bar.

 

Sweet when people tilt their heads sideways a little bit and smile at you across the noise in a huge room.

 

Sweet when people look out into the wide unknown and contemplate their future, with that preoccupied look on their face.

 

Sweet when sunlight shines through the curtains and tiny, little nothings float around in the sunlight.

 

Sweet when you catch people smile into their pillows first thing in the morning.

 

Sweet when you close your eyes against a cool breeze, sun-kist.

 

Sweet when you hear a song you could've written.

 

Sweet when someone remembers.

 

Sweet.

 

 

And a little romance never hurt anyone.
