Just because

I want

To sleep

Over

At a 

Boy’s

House,

Does 

Not

Mean

I want

To

Screw

Him.

It means

I want to have

Popcorn fights

In a 

Blanket fort.

It means

I want to

Fall asleep

On him

After a

Netflix

Binge.

It means

I want to

Sneak into the

Kitchen and

Eat candy together

While giggling

And trying

Not to

Wake

His

Mom.

It means

I want to

Make breakfast

With him,

Joking and

Laughing

Till his

Brother

Wakes up.

It means

I want to

Spend time

Away from the

Drama

Of my other

Friends.

It means

I want to

Cry on his

Chest,

As he strokes my

Hair,

And I listen

To his

Heartbeat.

It means 

I want to

Get excited and

Enjoy myself

Without people

Laughing 

At me. 

It means

I want to

Have a 

Conversation

Only he

Understands.

It means

That I 

Trust him to

Respect me,

And not do

Anything

I don’t

Want. 

It means

That for a 

Brief

Couple of

Hours,

I want to

Spend time

With 

Him,

And pretend

That it

Is

Just

Me

And

Him.

A pair

Of 

Best

Friends,

Alone,

But 

Together,

Against

The

World.

It means 

I want to be

Alone

With 

him

But not in 

The way

You

Think.
