I MISS YOUR QUIRKS EVEN THOUGH I NEVER LOVED YOU

I miss your quirks
even though I never loved you.

The way you never drank water with ice
the way you tilted your head when you smiled.

The way you screamed when you were upset
Or ran to your room when what you wanted was unmet.

The way you said you never wear makeup
but then showed up wearing makeup to our second date.

The way you held my hand
and liked my arm around you
even though you said you didn't like me.

I was against wearing makeup,
but I was not against you.

Thank you for trying to make my favorite dessert,
even though you said you were not a good cook,
and you were right.
