There’s a beauty hidden in normal days
Getting ready in the morning
Going to work, going to class
Coming home to cat meows and a soft bed
Sometimes I hate the repetitiveness, the normalcy of it all
But I love the habits I’ve made taking care of myself
I love staring into my eyes in the mirror when I’m still sleepy
I love petting my cats when they’re excited to see me
I love going to class when it feels like fall
Mostly I think I just miss your part in my routine
Your comforting presence in my bed holding me before I get up
Your whispers of sweet nothings as I brush my teeth
Your smile when you see me come back after a long day
I guess I don’t mind so many normal days
I just hope you can start living them with me
I hope you can stay.
