Sitting here in the silence,
We're comfortable.
It's not something to take for granted
When you have the social skills of a cucumber
But here it is, the moment.
The moment where parks and rec is playing on the TV,
You're telling me all these different little facts about the characters and storyline as you tug and hog the blanket.
I smile and laugh and we watch together
Before I even contemplate turning my head
I know your eyes are there
I know you're looking at me
I know you have a stupid grin on your face cause you're glad you showed me something I enjoyed.
I can feel your stare burning into me, and I know I shouldn't because of the state we're both in but despite my better judgement
I turn and look into your eyes
And you don't look away
And for a moment, I forget the circumstances
For a moment, looking at you
I'm completely and utterly lost
So I diffuse the only way I know how
I stick my tongue out at you
I call you a loser and smack you on the arm
Chewing you out for distracting me.
And honestly all I need,
All I want
Is this
These little moments
With you
