Together

We were together I forget the rest...

Walt Whitman 

But it's not true. I remember everything. The way you crinkle your nose when you tease me. The way you laugh at my stupid jokes. 

The way we can talk to each other without saying one word. 

The way you sing when you're concentrating. 

The way you love, the way you live. 

The way you're never afraid to say what's on your mind. The way your eyes light up when you talk about Jesus. 

Your passion, your grace. Your humility. 

The way you think everyone needs to understand your college level math.

The way you think everyone needs to go to mexico. 

The way you love your family.

The way you love to longboard

Your passion for helping people

I could go on. I am surrounded by beautiful people. And I sometimes forget how important togetherness is. 

I need you to make me smile and laugh and share my heart. 

I want to hear your coffee fueled rants. And your passion-filled prayers. 

I forget how much I need you until I see you again. 

I crave aloneness... But I often forget how important companionship is. We need each other. 

Support and encouragement and love. We're not meant to be alone. And I think we forget this too much. That we don't need anyone and no one needs us. 

But I need you. I want you. 

I need you to tell me I'm being stupid. I need you to tell me I'm doing the right thing. I need to tell you you're beautiful and worth it. I need your hugs. I need you to take late night Walmart runs to get sugar.  To watch spongebob with cause only you understand why I love it. 

It doesn't matter what we're doing, as long as we're doing it together. We could be doing nothing and I could be the happiest girl in the world. 

We were together and I remember it all. Because I treasure our togetherness.
