our love.

06/08/2009

our love belongs in a loft apartment
with no more than four walls
over a bookstore we own
it's only open half the time because
we prefer our days spent in bed
together, we prefer them in bed together.
our love belongs in waking up
to the other cooking breakfast for us both.
i know you hate eggs
so i'll just make extra bacon
and toast with butter and peanut butter.
the same toast i'll make for you
when you get far too drunk
which happens a little often
but you're so cute when you stumble.
and you've held my hair back plenty,
so let's drink a little much and tuck each other in
nestled up close enough to fit on a single bed.
and our love belongs in notes
left on the bedside table
when you're up early and go to the gym
it'll remind me to eventually go
instead of being lazy and doing pilates
on our living room floor.
our love belongs in something so constant
in something so matter of fact
because you come down to kiss me good night
and nothing has ever felt so right
it's how i know where our love belongs
and that it fits in the rest of my life.
because you are the rest of my life.
