Between Commercials

I needed this so much.
A little alone time.
Designer jeans.
T-shirts printed with out of the blue sayings.
A moment to ourselves, home alone,
Wasting time, just you and I.

Casually stretched across each other on the couch,
Commercials filled with Walmart families,
Insurance companies, lawsuit claims.
Your sugar fills the space between shows,
Your head leaned back on my chest,
Neck twisted in a kiss.

The TV, more so watching us,
The wait of working all week for this moment of relaxation.
The anticipation of butterflies, late night texts.
The vintage shows we grew up watching, still our favorite.

I really missed you.
Your shoulder, my favorite pillow.
The extended twenty-first question of our 21 Questions.
Sitting here with you,
Soon to fall asleep with you in my arms,
To wake up and do the exact same thing.

To let you know that I made it home safe.
