dumplings

Love is when we're in the kitchen together

and you're making dumplings while I get everything ready for us

Love is those quick moments

where we turn and grab each other and share a kiss or two

Love is going to the bedroom with the cooked dumplings

and sitting on the bed, ready to watch a show

Love is eating off the same plate,

dipping into the shared bowl of Maggi sauce

Love is him asking how good they were prepared

on a scale of one to ten

Love is cute little kisses while

we're eating and watching

Love is the two pairs of chopsticks

resting on top of the empty plate

Love is spending time with your loved one,

at life's simplest moments
