Soft Sapphic Things

soft sapphic things

Leaving little notes with sweet & supportive messages in random places for each other.

When she brushes your hair and keeps asking ‘Am I hurting you?’ but you’re the opposite of hurt.

Playing with her hair, because it’s so soft and pretty.

Reading fairytales to each other. Best of all, queer fairytales.

Discovering that you have the same bra size when you accidentally put on one of hers - then having a laugh about it.

Doing silly dances in the living room. Bonus points if the cat joins in.

Taking lavender foam baths and washing each other’s hair.

Putting on green face masks and then taking funny selfies together.

She lights scented candles whenever you come over.

When you’re using her as a soft pillow and she’s using you as a soft blanket.

When you wake up from a nightmare and she’s already awake and ready to comfort you.

Complimenting each other on how nice your hair smells.

Singing along to songs you both like and automatically dividing the harmonies without even having to discuss it.

Knowing each other’s anxiety triggers and being mindful of them + taking extra good care of each other whenever one isn’t doing well.

Reminding each other to take your medication.

There’s always some hair getting in the way of your kisses, ALWAYS, so you just laugh about it.

When she’s been ill for a few days so you cycle through the cold winter night to bring her fresh groceries.

Introducing her to Sappho’s poetry.

Getting ‘friendship necklaces’ together, the type where each of you wears one half of a heart, because you don’t feel whole until you’re together.

When she gives you a little kiss on your forehead, and then another one, and then more, because she just can’t stop.

When you say Good Night and close your eyes preparing to sleep, and then you feel her hand taking yours, like she can’t sleep without the reassurance of feeling you beside her.
