just c'mere

I wanted so badly just to lie down next to him on the couch, to wrap my arms around him and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and I was gawky and he is gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and he was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to where I was and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking if people were rain, I was drizzle and he was a hurricane.
