Like, cause you could do that yourself as a couple.

Like there's nothing stopping you.

There's nothing stopping you from sending your partner a text and saying like,

Hey, I heard that song today.

Remember that was playing in the restaurant when we were on our second date and it made me think of you.

Like who wouldn't want that text?

Who wouldn't want to receive that text?

Like who wouldn't want to just be told?

Like it takes nothing to just tell your partner, like, I'm glad I have you.

That's it.

It's nothing.

It takes nothing, costs nothing.

And that's, I think, what keeps us connected is these little tiny, these little tiny acknowledgements of making you feel seen, of making you feel like I'd still choose you.

Because we aren't still choosing each other.

You wake up every day and you choose this person.

And, you know, I've said it before that

I think loving anything is kind of insane because to love anything is to acknowledge that you're going to lose it.

Like every marriage ends.

It ends in death or divorce.

It's weird because it's like one of the only things in the world you go, I hope this ends in death.
