“Just because,” becomes our favorite phrase. Nightly phone calls. Falling asleep to the sound of your voice. Homemade cookies, because chocolate chip is your favorite. Slow walks, in light rain. Those were the best. Talking, laughing.
So, how’d we get here? Non interested nods as we fake conversations, frowns when facing the caller ID. Hand holding stopped eons ago and I can’t remember the last time we walked in the rain.
