Dumb Love

Poem

The nights are getting darker, but the mornings are getting brighter

I wake up to my new alarm and I feel you there with me

I know it's a lot to ask, but could you stay forever?

You wanted to leave earlier, but I think that was a bad idea

I know, I know, the thing about the seasons is that they always come back

But I don't want to lose you

​

I sit up and meet your eyes in the mirror on my closet door

We smile at each other

I break our gaze and notice the way the clothes hang over the side of the hamper

Why did I think it was silly before?

It turns out it feels pretty damn good

I know I'm being kinda sappy, but it should be fine

I understand the consequences of a house fire

​

I slide out of bed and sit down for work

I sigh

It's a sigh that fills the room, but not like it used to

A sigh we make together

And when it's over it's just me and you

I love you

I love you too
