The Little Things

I don't know what's wrong
you avoid me
you stay away
you don't talk
you're always busy.

I want to be there.
I want to see you.

and lo, there you are
a kind word.
a smile.
a "love tap".
that's all it takes
and I'll be happy again.

the little things
are what I find joy in.
the little things
are what I care about.
the details details details
I don't want them to disappear.

heck, I'm so pathetic.
and I know it.
but let me stay
let me get in the door
let me be there
and I'll be happy.

-It's true. My day could be going horribly, but I'd see one of them, and they'd smile or laugh or nudge me, and I'd be happy. I was like a lost little puppy, waiting for approval from its masters. It still is true.-
