“The Moon Represents My Heart” and Subtle Signs I Love You

I’m here

I remember

Three squeezes

Shared playlists

Peeled mandarins

Red velvet cheesecake

Your hair tie, my wrist

Spinning ring competitions

Promises made and promises kept

Autumn leaves the shade of your hair

Doing dishes even especially when you’re half asleep

From watching movies I hate for you, to loving them because of you

Wordlessly, the tomatoes on my plate replace the carrots on yours

Locked eyes and shared smiles across the crowd

2 am calls when you can’t escape the dark

4 pm calls before my class presentation

Holding onto my hand in the crowd

This made me think of you

Holding onto my hand

Hand-burned CDs

Baby photos

Inside jokes

Holding me

Long hugs

Polaroids

Letters
