Stay Right Here With Me

You peel the label off your beer, draw little hearts on my hand

with your thumb. Laugh so hard you lose your breath, say "God,

I'm glad you came". Your hair's a mess, my shirt's half

wrong. Pizza box between our knees. Movie playing, we're not watching,

just trading stories in the dark. Stay right here. Close enough to touch but closer

in your mind. Say my name, like you've been rehearsing it your whole life.

If this is all we ever get, your head on my chest,

my hand on your neck, I'm already, already in too deep.
