Love

I love

Snowy stage band mornings

Dark and cold

Blowing in the door with some random trumpet player

Our conductor's coffee

Wet I-just-showered hair

Bedhead, the age-old oops-forgot-my-folder

Sleepy music with my favorite people

In my favorite room

As the sun rises

I love

Snow day spelling bee google meets

Tired but spelling anyway

Having the Super Bowl on but paying it no mind

Too absorbed in the word lists

I love

Yo-yo

Something I had completely forgotten existed

And then suddenly

I thought was so cool

Because you were cool
And you were good at it

You're good at everything

I love

Sunday morning Da Capo

Taking turns carpooling

Writing nothings on foggy windows

Scrolling through funny flute-related picture books

Listening to our favorite music

I love

Making messy origami

Hanging out on an orange beanbag

Sneaking in Crossy Road

"Censoring" songs with sparkly penguins and bow ties

In full concert attire

I love

Folding tons of paper cranes

All sorts of different colors

With little notes on them

Shoving them all in your cubby

Laughing and running away

Your face when you saw it...

I love

Writing silly stories in the dark of the car

Cracking each other up

You doing your adorable panicky thing

Our silly little scribble art and hangman and diary entries and Mad Libs

I love

You

Truly

Always

Like all-fire.

    "Why is your foot there"

    "I have long legs"

    Every exchange

    Every feisty back-and-forth it's just

    Me

    Connecting the only way I know how

    Simultaneously protecting myself

    And bringing you in

  • Feeling stupidity

    Is this love?

    This riding every high

    And crashing burning like a sugar rush gone wrong

    It's so weird

    So elated

    And then so depressed

    I soak my pillow with tears and giggles

  • Metamorphosis

    I should be soaring sky high above the rafters

    Crashing low against the waves

    Burning like the sun but I will never be

    Up there I will always be

    Down here so

    I'm bringing it

    I'll tell you a story
