I lay on the wolves you spread out for me

While you laugh and lay out cards for your friends.

I read how to treat myself with kindness

While you playfully rack up funny wins.

We eat the dirt, but not with gummy worms.

It hits the spot, but not like your smile does.

Like the silly memes I send from Instagram,

Abrupt turns and sweet looks pass between us.

I could be at home, but I like it here.

I’m glad that you like having me here, too.

Because you really make it all better,

And I’d rather share all my nights with you.
