Take a moment to tell someone you love
something that you may not have said
in a while.

Tell them they you look beautiful,
or I love you deeply.

Don’t just say it without meaning.
Wait for the right moment.

Wait until you have no other option
but to recognize the importance
of the person you love.

Take a moment to feel the love
that they provide and nourish you with.

Feel time stand still and freeze
in that split second. And just be.
Just be in the moment.

Think about how the rain makes you
reminisce about how much you love
this other person.

Feel spectacular and tell them
they are magnificent.

Tell them they are the world to you.
Make them feel like there is only the now.

We get lost in the daily and forget
how much work we put into our everyday
miniscule rituals.

In the end it amounts to simply routine.
So remember to slip out of the routine
to acknowledge what you feel.

Talk about what you feel.

Express it so that you have said
what you feel.

Speak up when you want something.
