You're beside me,  
And everything is fine.  
It doesn't really matter  
What we do outside of this.  

I ask what you want to watch,  
Scrolling through my DVDs.  
You smile and point,  
Even if it's something I don't want  
To watch. I watch because it's an extension  
Of you.  

Knowing me, I'll pick something  
Stupid that'll make us laugh.  
When the screen flickers,  
You light up.  
We laugh and we talk,  
Catching everything that makes  
It interesting.  

Most of the time,  
I only laugh because you're laughing.  
You really don't know how beautiful  
Your smile is.  
Even when the movie is over,  
The taste of your lips  
Makes it worthwhile.  
Just this, being with you.  
It's not about the movie at all.  
The DVD may spin,  
The world may swirl around,  
But beside you, time stands still.

I once sent a picture saying “I am scared of you”

Although I’ve never stated this but I’m scared of the power you wield over me

Living in this nice delusional world is beautiful and all

But

When reality sets in I’ll be the biggest loser

I am not afraid to lose, I am ready to risk it all

But

What I fear is the despondent state this will leave me
Untouched yet unfit for anyone else

I can bounce back from anything

But

I can’t bounce back from you

This is why I hide from you
Give this poetry a name in the comment

— The End —
