You know what’s kind of beautiful?
In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”
I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.
Daniel and I were at his pool today, he was sitting on the edge and I was in the water. He had leaned down to kiss me, and I propped myself up to kiss him back. A little girl, maybe 5 years old, who saw us do this, says, “Are you in love with her?” I couldn’t stop smiling.
Probably the cutest fucking thing ever. Made my day.
It was wasn’t it baby?
