What’s my favorite thing to do?

It’s lying on your chest

Listening to your heartbeat

Read me a lullaby

Scold me

For staying up to late

It’s feeling your warmth

Dance with my pulse

As if it were a balloon

Forbidden from touching the ground

Juggled higher and higher

Until bursting like a piñata

Full of laughter

It’s looking at you

While you say something funny

Something stupid

Something wise

Something about me not listening

Behind my foolish smile

When all I hear is

Someone that sounds like me

Exclaiming

That I kiss you

So your lips forget upside-down
