It's The Little Things.

I Was Living Like A Ghost, Then You Came Along.

It's the little things

that fill me with joy:

The love found

existing all around.

From the every day mundane,

to the ways you speak my name.

To all the times we've spent;

The places we went.

The nights spent in -

takeout and a movie.

Of course I'd fall asleep

right before it ends, as usual.

You see,

I've never really been one

for grand gestures

or big surprises.

No, the real prize is

these moments we spend together,

messing around like it'll last forever -

and maybe it will even when we're gone.

We'll have little snippets captured

to tell of our lives, our stories,

our greatest happiest moments -

and as simple as they may be,

they breathed life back into me.
