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.
