A hand on a chest feeling a heart beat. A scent that you can feel but not smell. The subtle warmth of a body. The light tingle you feel when lips touch. A gentle stroke of hair that gives goosebumps.

These are all simple things. Very subtle and simple things. Things that, in themselves, have more value that anyone can imagine.

Maybe they are so important because they are hard to come by, so rare. Or maybe it’s just my own perception and these things are not supposed to exist. Maybe they are the endless dreams of a hopeless romantic, someone who dreams all day every day.

Who knows? I don’t care, I just go through missing all of these little and simple things.
