From Me to You (A List of Likes)

Me

Clocks

White socks

Lavender fields

Hiding in plain sight

Hide and go seek at night

Snow falling through a streetlight

Tasting through the steam off of tea

Puncturing the skin of an orange

Drinking juice from a wine glass

Taking time to tie shoes

Piano concertos

Wearing a suit

Screaming

Midnight cereal

Cold showers before bed

The sound of a door unlocking

A symphony of ticking pocket watches

The smell of a pack of gum after there's none left

Sitting at sidewalk cafes long after I've finished my drink

Reading the directions on shampoo bottles

Climbing a tree until you can go no higher

Holding a pizza on your lap in the car
A head resting on my shoulder

Windowless rooms

Sweet perfumes

Holding hands in the dark

Hearing a far-away dog bark

Launching bottle rockets twelve at a time
Touching one of everything in an aisle at the supermarket

Spending hours on a meal only to watch others enjoy it
Being face-to-face with tomato soup
The taste of sterling silver

Looking up at a tree

Hammocks

Beheading a boiled egg

Trays designed for breakfast in bed
The cracking sounds of a new book being opened

Cleaning out the holes from a hole-puncher

Pulling the hairs off of black clothes

Crying in front of a mirror

Grinding pepper

Pacing in a public bathroom
Pretending I'm being followed
Stealing stirring straws from cafes
Jumping on ketchup packets
Being muddy

Moss

Creek water

Deep holes in old trees

Roots that come up from the ground

Building a model out of paper then setting it on fire
Thinking out loud while walking naked around my house
Slipping in the shower and catching myself at the last second

Pushing people around in wheelchairs while we talk

Having a hotel swimming pool to myself
Bed and breakfasts

Practicing faces

Punching through a wall

Flowers in unexpected places

Stars reflected off a pond in the woods

Running until I can't run anymore

Hidden passages in old buildings

Water washing away sand

Walking on thin ice

Sudden urgency

Umbrellas

Southern sunsets

Slowly sinking into wet sand

Lying on the beach with a book on my face

When you can see a rainstorm from a distance

The second of blindness after a camera flash

A silent film in a crowded room

Witnessing car accidents

Scaring my brother

Digging holes

White walls

Waterfalls

Air dusters

Honey mustard

Watching someone fall asleep

Pretending to take notes

Dirt on my nose

Band-aids

Scavenger hunts

Catching food in my mouth

Burying something and finding it years later

Watching movies together
Sharing my world

Learning truth
Finding love

Living

You
