I will forever be reminded of you…
When someone offers me milk in a herbal tea (and hasn’t read the packaging)
When I drink kombucha (especially mixed with gin)
When anyone says the word “squirt” (no matter how inappropriate the situation!)
When I walk through the vegetable aisle (particularly past the cucumbers)
When I hear a laugh even slightly like yours (though none can truly compare)
When someone says they are “all gravy” (even though they most likely are not)
When I eat coconut ice cream (imagining my spoon is your nipple)
