Come Live With Me

 i hate texting some days

come live with me

let's wake up next to each other 

in the mornings

come live with me

and watch tv on the couch at night, 

our legs entwined 

come live with me

i'll read you the rough drafts of my poetry and hold you when you're feeling lost

but mostly, i want the empty silences where we don't have to speak

i can know what you're saying 

by the way you look at me

sometimes i sit with your messages open just so i can feel like i'm sitting in silence with you

sometimes i close my eyes 

and you're laying next to me 

and i'm not alone 

anymore.
