"The Ordinary Moments" Inspired by The Gentleman’s Confession:

The Ordinary Moments

Moments of being led to the kitchen by my nose,

knowing warm cookies will soon appear.

Moments of companionable silence

as we read next to each other on the couch.

Moments of uncontrollable laughter

when you tell me what happened on your way to work.

Moments of idle chatter over dinner

as all gather together at the end of the day.

Moments of delightful surprise

to see your name pop up on an incoming phone call.

Moments of joy and support

when we go out and something—anything—together

just because one of us wanted to.

Moments of feeling like I belong

when you don’t hesitate to envelope me in a hug.

Moments of happiness

when I look forward to our plans tomorrow.

All these extraordinary feelings

wrapped up in simple, everyday moments.
