Ice-cream
The soft forehead kisses
Your hands through my hair
The smile when you see me

Lemonade
Learning to accommodate each other’s quirky habits —
Turning annoyances into acceptance and boundaries,
Turning lemons into lemonade.

Coffee
The time spent apart
Teaching us to better appreciate each other
When the moments spent together are so rare, so precious.

The excitement of “will they, won’t they?”
The passionate discussions of values we protect
The spark, the tension, the resolution.
