Dumb Love
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
