Georgia Heard’s Substack offers writing calendars that work for both children and adults. Here is her February Valentine Mini Writing Calendar, inspiring us to fall in love with the everyday. Day 7 asks us to fall in love with love with something unexpected and share about what surprised our hearts.
What Love Looks Like
I’m standing at the
bathroom sink
doing my makeup
when he walks
up behind me
holding out
a steaming mug
setting it down
on the counter
between the
mascara and lipstick
steady like a
gymnast on a
balance beam
I made your coffee
he whispers
leaning down
planting a kiss
on my neck
catching my eye
in the mirror
and in that moment
I swear I see
what a love
spark looks like
