The Longest Person I've ever Met

"I have come to disagree

All the reasons why

The way our papers piled

And the sleepless nights that climbed into mornings with stale coffee

Your long arms and long legs welcome me in this tight space anyway

Where I can lie on your belly amidst this mess

And tell you all the reasons why

Holed up in the emptiness of your chest

Held between your lips and your tongue

And it has been a long time since, but I feel like maybe I can give in

Because even when we drift apart

And the months find ways to fill in our silence

We find that we don't mind getting back in

We remember the solace in the little things

So we make time and we forget our piles of books for awhile

And finally, I have come to coalesce

The long schedules that drawl itself into sleepy evenings

The way your presence means so much to me

I lie when I feel that I'm about to say three words

That may cause my world to collapse if I finally let you in

But in this moment,

When I am pressed underneath your body

I am almost out of breath

And you brush my hair out of my face to get a good look at me

I find that puzzle pieces are not like human beings

And that is alright when we jut at each other unevenly

Darling, we are gentler together

And I feel that you mean well when you allow me to take the empty space beside you

Therefore, I have come to disagree

All the reasons why."
