what i miss most

• when you say that you'll scratch my back if i scratch yours, but then you always make me scratch your back first until you fall asleep.
• when you tickle me until i can't breathe.
• when you make sentences using every spanish word you know, even though they make no sense.
• when you wake up in the morning and your hair is all messy and soft.
• when you come home from work late at night and jump on me and kiss me all over to get me to wake up.
• when you get really angry about the existence of illegal mexicans.
• your lips.
• when you tell me how pretty i am.
• when you wrap your long arms around me and i feel my whole body get warm and tingly.
• when you let me hold your hand in public.
• when you talk about how much you miss your parents.
• when the sweat drips down the base of your spine.
• when i try to make you dinner and you complain about how i eat weird food and then you try it and actually like it.
• when you tell me you want to be with me for the rest of your life.
  
• when you drink caffeinated beer.
• when you don't understand what i'm talking about, but still pretend to so that i feel better.
• when you pretend that nothing exists except your own imperfect existence.
  
• when you tell me "everything will be okay, baby."
