Us and Time

You came to waste my time
But tonight it’s alright
This night is more chaotic
A riot inside our minds
So let’s find serenity in silence on the tube
As we inhale the stuffy fumes
It’s feels like 11 o' clock
But it’s really 4:45
We slickly coat ourselves in compatibility
It’s a big word but we don’t know what to call what we have
Just what we don’t want, labels
I wish I could paint
So I could solidly feel your movements in layers
As a conveyer,
Capturing you where you look best in my eyes
Not in megapixels
But I can’t draw and you know that,
We sit opposite each other making eye contact
We don’t have to sit together, hold hands, or kiss for people to know we’re together
We just are
You like me because I’m clumsy, observant, quiet but when you get to know me quite confident
I know why I like you but I won’t tell you why yet
This is our stop, Brixton station.
As we walk out the station we’re greeted by the harsh cold
The chewing-gum coated sidewalks
I regret that I never bring a scarf whilst you and I talk
I lowkey think this is the time where you allow me to wear your padded bomber jacket
But it isn’t, because you know I’m a winter baby and when it comes to the cold I should just ‘hack it’
You see, I know why I like you but I won’t tell you why yet
I’ll keep it a secret, until you read/hear this poem, I’m hoping for a text next
