Going from living together to living apart, no matter if temporary or not, is a difficult transition. So often we take the little things for granted, but when you don't have them anymore, it's the little things that we miss the most. Here are some of the things that I miss the most, in randem order....
1. Our Saturday/Sunday morning coffee and breakfast time.
2. Riding the train home from work together.
3. Watching football on Sunday, and me falling asleep with my head in his lap.
4. Folding his laundry.
5. Kissing his shoulder before I fall asleep.
6. Going to the grocery store together.
7. Sitting on our swing and talking about whatever comes to mind.
8. Trying a new recipe and seeing the look on his face as he takes the first bite.
9. Listening to him and my son play Play Station.
10. His good-bye kiss in the morning as he leaves for the gym.
There are so many more little things that were taken for granted, and if I were to name them all I'd have a novel by the time I was done. My lesson in this? The highs and lows aren't what's going to give you a lasting relationship. It's the little things that strengthen the bond between you, create intimacy, and grow into a love that's everlasting. He and I may no longer live together at this point, but the time that we spend together, I appreciate and savor every moment of it. While we're creating new and happy memories, I'm also falling in love all over again with the man that I already love. And that's a pretty amazing thing.
