The Normalness You Showed Me

Joshua Cintron

I used to think love needed big gestures to count. She showed me otherwise, one quiet night on the couch at a time.

I am not the one who chooses to watch a
romantic movie, cuddling on the sofa

with a blanket in each other’s arms, you are. I
am thankful,

thankful for you showing me not with words but
in actions, how to enjoy

small seemingly insignificant moments.
Though the audio

from the movie spreads throughout the room
we’re in, my body is calm,

my mind is content in the normalness you
cared enough to show me.
