it’s raining
it’s cold
i wish
i were with you
even if it were
in the rainy cold
i can think
of a few things
we could do
to keep our minds
off of the weather

we could
read to each other
or
watch a scary movie
i could watch you
out of the corner of my eye composing
a long winded refrain
on perfection
in the modern age
or whatever else
we can come up with

as long as you’re here i am content
