The Everyday Things...

The Everyday Things... I found myself silently walking, lost to the sounds of the sea... lost to the light beginning to show itself on the horizon. I was thinking about us.. about you. Wondering, what I could do better. What can be done to ensure your smile. I always thought I was more or less independent... always making decisions... always carrying my part of us. But I found myself lost in the you of us. I realized that you made decisions... you carried your part of us, also. The difference was you never claimed any sort of independence. You were satisfied with the us we had become. It was always what we are together... and what we are to/for each other. Never complaining... always thinking of what it would take to ensure my smile. We have grown together... and apart. And even though we do things different for each other, we have lost the things we do together... for each other. It's the everyday things that keep us going. The coffee in the morning. the wishing each other a good day. The talks in the evening, when finally we find ourselves together again. The wish of having a good night and gentle dreams. The everyday things we do for each other together by each other. These are the things that keep us being us. These are the things I also sometimes miss. And as the sun started sparkling on the surface of the sea, and the air freshened on my face, I turned and walked toward home... to make you your first cup of coffee for the day... and give you your first smile. It's just one of the everyday things.
