In these shared moments,

I find a sacredness,

a privilege to be a part of your routine,

to be the one you reach out to,

the name that lights up your screen.

Every call, a heartbeat,

every exchange, a pulse of joy,

and in the spaces between,

a profound gratitude blooms,

for the simple, extraordinary gift,

of being a small ritual in your life.

Not to sound too kinky, but can we hug until I feel okay again?
