we just make it easy

the smell of rain coming in my open window

as i made tea

i shout from the kitchen to you on the couch

the key moments of

pride and prejudice

(the 2005 one if you’re curious)

about her dad,

about everything.

when lizzie first encounters darcy

goes up to him

and says

‘do you like dancing’

and he says

‘ not if i can help it’

and i turned your face to look at mine

you buried your head in the couch

that’s how clear the reflection was

so similar,

both of us are

but that’s the deception

the beautiful magic

you can find your love in her books

(we just make it easy)

as i’m sitting

holding your head in my lap as you sleep

(you are tired from the gym and all the walking as ‘i am very fond of walking’)

i think how similar it is

but

that doesn’t make it perfect.

her world grew with darcy.

sure they are different in the same beautiful ways as us

but he gave her the world

you’d give me all of you

( but would i want the world )

i love all of you

holding you feels like i’m holding

a whole world

(what would my life be like,

big enough?)
