Mere trifles

She never remembers the day of the week, nor the date. I'm enchanted with numbers and can see magical connections in their combinations. She can't fall asleep in silence. I can only do it when it's perfectly quiet. She sleeps on her back. I curl in the fetal position. She often has nightmares. I have an annoying tendency to forget my dreams the moment I wake up. She takes things in general. I caress the details. She thinks she knows herself in and out. I know I don't know anything for sure. She can't live without sweets, I much prefer savory foods. She loves dogs, I love cats. She is uncomfortable about things she doesn't understand. I rely on feelings and intuition. She's quite happy with getting. I can only content myself with giving. She wears specs. I have perfect eyesight. She answers in Russian when I ask in English. She's never been in love. At least she says so.
