Once I opened a fortune cookie
Inside there was unsurprisingly hidden
A little slip of paper
It read:

“To love and be loved is like feeling the sun from both sides.”

I imagined what that must feel like . . . .

Snuggling in comforters fresh out of the dryer
Sitting in the sun on a warm spring day
Playing at the beach in the summer
An oversized sweater on a winter evening
A hug from your cat
Laughing at a bonfire

All of these things I imagined

But then I met you

And I didn't have to imagine
I knew.
