Falling in love With Life

Today I woke up
And fell in love
Not with the girl
Who smelled essentially like essential oils
Not with the boy
Who smiled at me
More than I ever smiled back
I fell in love
With the deliberate pawprints
My dog had left in the hallway
To tell me he had "sneaked" into my kitchen garden
And ate all my carrots away
I fell in love
With how my eyes crinkled
Even when I fake smiled
I fell in love
With my brother's bottle cap collections
That he hides in basement
Because he thinks
He has grown up now
I fell in love
With the embarrassing pictures
My mother had put on a show
For the visitors to see
Today I woke up
And fell in love
