He’s not going to notice your hair

He’s not going to notice

He’s also not going to realize

When you buy a new sweater

Or that new pair of boots you fussed over buying

He just isn’t

Society told you that if he doesn’t

Then he is a bad boyfriend

Bad husband

Bad everything

That he doesn’t care

How dare he

Belittle you like that

But that isn’t it at all

Because he knows what time you need to wake up in the morning

He sees how the snow

Takes your breath away

And he takes you to your favorite restaurant

For no reason

Other than it’s a Wednesday

He notices

And he cares more than there are words

But life happens

Details are missed

That doesn’t mean

He cares

Any less

It just means he’s human

And he loves you

He holds you late at night

When the world doesn’t make any sense

You have no idea what you’re doing

Or where you’re going

You just want to give up

He listens to your dreams

Hopes

Wishes

Knows what you want to be

When you aren’t waitressing till two in the morning

He sees how loving,

Compassionate,

Caring you are

That you’ll go pick up a drunk friend even when you’ve worked all day

And volunteer any free time you have

To anyone who needs you

So just because he doesn’t notice your hair is two inches shorter

Doesn’t make him

The worst human

On the face of the planet

Because he knows your heart

And soul

And what really matters

At the end of the day
