In another universe
I annoy the hell out of you,
And you love it,
And me.
You love me,
My silliness,
My magic,
My big heart.
My big, bleeding heart,
You hold it,
Protect it,
Calm it.
You calm me
With your voice alone,
And yes, darlin’,
We dance in the living room
Like goofy teenagers
In love.
In another universe
We are love,
And that is what we came for.
