I keep a small photo of us tucked away in a tiny pocket in my bag. Every time I miss you, I find myself reaching for it just to look back at that one moment.
In the picture, you are caught in the middle of talking about something, and I am just sitting there, completely still, staring at you. You can see it in my eyes how much I was actually listening, hanging on to every word you said.
Whenever things feel a bit too quiet or you are not around, I pull it out. Looking at it makes me feel like I can almost hear your voice again, and it reminds me exactly how it feels to just be there with you. It is only a small piece of paper, but it is the best way I have to keep you close.
