As soft as cotton But prickles of pine How beautiful it feels To call you mine

city of brotherly love

Detail: noun, 1. an individual feature, fact, or item. The big picture is getting coffee with the one you love, but details taste like the cup you’ve been craving all day from the shop down the street from the beach with the hard wood floors and walls covered in paintings of flowers; the place where you'd sit in a tall chair and swing your legs as you sip on the two straws you always get. Details are the cup he likes with two sugars and one sweetener. Details are when you go back to his house afterwards and he's playing video games sitting, but not quite, on his chair. Details are the place in the corner of his sometimes-messy mind that grows flowers like no garden on earth, and in that corner is you. Details are the way you taught him that flowers need water and sunlight or they cannot grow. Details are the way you help each other flourish. Details are the way he messes with the belt loop of your jeans when he tells you you taught him how to love. Details are the way he kissed you for the first time at 8:58 and you still remember how fast your heart was beating. Details are the story about him that took you so long to unravel because he doesn’t let people read him so easily, but details are the way he writes paragraphs about you like it's the simplest thing to do. Details are the reason he fell in love with you, and you with him, and details are the reason you keep loving each other. Details are the way he looks at you with wide, inviting eyes, that he thinks are just boring brown but to you there's nothing better. Details are one of the most beautiful things in this world, and like many other beautiful things and beautiful people, they tend to go unnoticed.
