Us

Anna Colette

I scroll through photos on my phone
The pictures of us brighten my cheeks and a smile fights to reveal itself
In the oldest, we look the happiest with big smiles and a few inches from each other
As the pictures get newer, we compose ourselves more but get closer
Until we're touching.
I remember those moments;
Nothing else in the world seemed to matter
Everything and everyone around us disappeared until it was only us
I forgot everything for an instant, the only thing radiating through my body was how close we were.
I feel safe knowing you're next to me
Even in silence, we enjoy the presence of each other
We've gotten past the butterflies with overly shy smiles and awkward silence
We've gotten past the "who'll grab who's hand first"
And on the bad days, 
When I don't want to talk
When I don't want to move
When I don't want to be touched in any way,
You are my rock
You come up with simple things to talk about 
You match my pace and don't rush it
You wait for me to touch you first. 
Until eventually, 
You call me yours 
My face grows red, I am overjoyed 
Because even after all the bad times
And the rough conversations 
You still call me yours
And you say little remarks
That makes it almost like you're saying you love me, without actually saying those words
Because I wasn't ready to say it yet, so you're waiting but still reassuring me. 
Everyone says I'm happier, that I've gotten better 
I smile more, I'm more carefree, I'm a teenager
And it's almost like I have a normal life
And I've been one in a million for a few things, 
Now I'm one in a million with you.
