he handed me a piece of yellow paper when he saw me. it’d been folded over so many times it looked ready to explode. on it he’d scribbled down the lyrics to you are my sunshine. i smiled.

years later, i came across it in a box at the back of my closet. i’d forgotten he was capable of such sweet things. i smiled again, dropped it in the trashcan. it was no longer something i needed to hold onto.

i was over being willing to settle for little, expecting even less.
