he’s when you run your fingers as you flip through the pages of an old book, and you smell the deep, dark, earthy tone of the paper. he’s when you stare at a blank canvas and run your fingers on it, focusing on the texture of the paper under your fingertips. he’s the echo of an empty museum, the silence being the perfect accompaniment to any thought. he’s the obliviousness of when you’re playing in the rain, and all you think about is how the drops feel on your skin and the laughter that plays in the open air. he’s the crackle and light of a humble fireplace, its soft, dancing light humming you to sleep. he’s hugging your best friend after far too long apart.
