some mornings I wake up a few minutes before Jake and I roll over and hold on to him and he smiles in his sleep, the giddy sleepy sort of smile, and the morning light melts me and I lie in a useless puddle of flustered love.

we were talking about comfort habits/foods/objects and I mentioned gum, then a bit later I was upset and Jake ran into 7-11 and came back with gum. how I love thee <33
