"You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, whether your eyes are open or close whenever you kiss her, the way you act around other girls, the unfinished sentences, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper and even the way you hold a pen, your long stare, your worried - overthinking look, your wicked sense of humor, the words you say when you stand up for her; and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention. She remembers when you forget."
