the small things
why does it ever
have to be more complicated
than that night
we held hands
in a darkened theater,
watching a shitty movie,
legs up on the seat in front of us,
you curled up against me,
head on my shoulder
while I felt so calm,
not needing anything else,
my hand on your thigh,
your breath on my neck,
and the whole world
tucked away
in a whole different existence?
I wished time had stopped
in that moment
forever.

This is simple but so relatable. Those small moments make the trying ones worth it. You feel as though you could sit through anything and it becomes memorable. Even shitty movies.

Catching the midnight matinee. I remember how it felt to hold her before she disappeared, gone when the lights came up. Maybe she was part of the movie. Better than nothing, I guess. Fine job Sammy.

The smallest of things can have the biggest impact! Nostalgic piece, Sammy...

Always the simplest little things that stick in our memories. Very sweet piece Sammy.

It's a question that many have asked themselves in moments of despair. I love the nostalgic feel of this. Great little thing.
