With you,
I am me, and you are you.
I like the simplicity of it.
The simple way,
you make me
smile with few
words spoken.
The way your
words spoken
seem to fill me up
more than the food
on my plate.
My internal plate made
full by the possibility of
you and me.
You and me,
just like the sound of it
as one harmonious beat.
One harmonious beat,
that looms over me,
and tickles me left and right.
Left or right,
I'd follow you,
to a mutual center.
Center, is where we
always seem to meet,
with your thoughts,
complimenting my own.
With you,
I am me, and you are you.
I like the simplicity of it.

Laying in bed
after love.
Thinking thoughts,
... lazy like,
ones that require
no x equals
why this or that,
or what to do next.
Instead,
We lollygag in thought,
together, alone.
No longer
self-conscious of that
extra fat on my
stomach and thighs,
pressed up against
you now.
Quietly exposed in
beaming light.
I linger fingers on that
scar you despise.
Lost in the silent hum of us,
side by side,
where imperfection
becomes justified.
