love is

the little things.

the tiny little things unique to only one person. the things you can't duplicate.

• the way their hair looks in the morning
• the way they giggle at something that isn't quite funny
• the way they pronounce certain words
• the funny little face they make when they yawn
• the way their fingers fit perfectly into yours
• the way they smile
• that one crooked tooth
• the way they talk about their family
• the way they tell jokes
• how they blush when their jokes aren't funny
• how their eyes aren't quite one colour

if you only love the big things (they're smart, they're funny, they're kind) then do you really love who they are?

when you love the little things, that's how you know it's love.
