The Conflicted Color Pallet

it's not weird, is it?

"let's have a sleep over"

we can play games all night

or until we get bored

we'd make hot coco with extra marshmallows,

because that's how you like yours

and you'd draw a picture for me

while I read my novel

we'll eat tons of popcorn

and watch the classic Christmas movies

The Grinch, A Christmas Story,

The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol

(even though the last two creep me out)

then you'd tell me that it's getting late

even though I can see the moon starting to set

we'd crawl in my bed, which is

barely big enough for both of us

your bare feet hanging off the end

you'd twist your finger through my long hair

and whisper goodnight in my ear in

your sleepy voice as I'm drifting off

then we'd wake up around noon,

consequence of staying up until three,

with our legs tangled together and

my hands in your hair

we'd share a good morning smile

you'd laugh at our childish behaviors

from the previous 'party'

and it would be perfect

"but I'm a boy"
