all the small, falling apart parts,
left room for me to find a space
that i could fit my fist inside;

1. cuddles with my daughter
2. cuddles with mr.t
3. reading stories aloud
4. writing stories
5. picnics in the park
6. music
7. the absence of loneliness
8. feeling wanted
9. feeling desired
10. boxed chocolates
