A Day For Love
You are in love.
You love the way the tree branches bend under the weight of snow but still manage to stand tall.
You love that tumblr that consolidates all those Corgi pictures.
You love the boy in your class wearing scuffed brown shoes.
You love that leafy wall on the corner of Granby and Bay State.
You love the CITGO sign.
You love your best friend, eagerly telling you about her weekend over Warren dining hall coffee.
You love the girl whose name you cannot pronounce.
You love the sun.
You love the friend who sent you a Spotify playlist when you were sad.
You love coffee.
You love words.
Science. Math. Languages. Education. Ecology. Hockey. Thought,
Friendship,
Shoes,
Baseball,
Sleep,
Memories,
The boy you met over four years ago in high-school chemistry class,
Your cat,
Low-calorie soft serve that doesn’t sacrifice taste:
You are in love.
Your love does not have to be romantic love.
Your love can be romantic love. Your love can be friendship love. Shoe love. Corgi love. Glitter love. Steve Nash love. Sitting on street benches at midday love.
Being happy love.
You are in love with something, someone, someplace. Let yourself be happy. Love that love.

Perfectly beautiful Ceci! Minus the part about Warren since I’ve never been there.
That was so nice Ceci, what a treat. Loved it!
