Can we cuddle forever? (Poem)

And if it’s just us— two loners stuck in the monotony of “I love you”s— I won’t mind. I’d align every star just to catch a glance of you.

A midnight, as we pass through the crowd, others steal their giggles, while we lean into silence. And in that silence, our heartbeats catch a rhythm— and I listen, endlessly, or until we end.

Don’t let your lips claim mine tonight. This innocent breeze kisses us better. That kiss you left on my forehead— it’s the only delight I know. So hold onto me, still. Let shame belong to those who stare, and love to us.

Oh, nothing says “I want you” like your iris nearly escaping your eyes at my sight. And nothing says “I’m here” like your hums to my nonsense.

And if you leave—no grudges held. But if you stay— Oh, I’m in dandelions, braiding dandelions or peonies or forget-me-nots, or none at all. Peony loops on our wrists — soft proof we chose each other. Who needs rings when love already fits?

I won’t be your shadow. I’ll be half of you.

Something whispers in this rain: Would you and I be there when the butterflies settle in? Would you and I be there when the bubble bursts? Would you and I ever be us?

Look into my eyes and tell me— Would you let me collapse on your shoulder in the metro? Would you wrap your arms around me when I come back home, tired of myself? When I return, hating the world, would you shut me up with your warmth? Would you be my comfort? Would you compensate for the me I lost trying to become yours?

I don’t believe in “love you”s anymore. Would you say it still—if you trusted me?

When tomorrow comes, and ego fills the room, when lips—those liars— lose the courage to say “I love you,” would you see the love etched in my eyes instead?

I can’t promise you all giggles. But if we cry— we’ll cry together at His threshold, not in shrines that disown us.

I want you. Lay your head on my chest. Shut your mind. So… can we cuddle forever?
