How to Hold a Person

Untitled

please excuse me while i go masturbate to the thought of you yelling at me
for not toasting the bread when i made you that peanut butter sandwich
thanks

i wish my life consisted only of
riding my bike with you
down a giant hill that never stopped
while listening to music,
with no one else around
in the middle of nothing,
except a few shiny and relaxing lights above in the sky
like stars but a little brighter
and more orange

How to Hold a Person

lie on your right side
put your right arm under my neck
then wrap your arm around my chest
put your left arm over my left side
then wrap your arm around my chest
rest your face on the other side of my neck
close your eyes
wait for sleep
