Small Things to Remember

An evening at home. That Maison Francis Kurkdijan candle we burned. The smell of banana-oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies when it envelops a living room. The afternoon we met. A nice head of hair to your run fingers through. The lazy morning in bed. That "Revelator Eyes" song again making rounds in your head. The moment you click "confirm purchase" on your plane ticket for home. Myriad of pages still left to read. Gavin James. The possibility behind the last thing you said. The promise of our heavenly Father. Coffee, coffee, coffee. A Skype call. The videos of your pets your mom sends you throughout the day. An empty page and a pen. Goosebumps. A quiet day. A loud night. A small dog on my lap. The Holiday. The sight of his hands.
