Talking Nonsense With You

I could stay up all night

And whisper nonsense with you

We’ll talk about fame and money and power

And all sorts of things we’ll never see

We’ll talk about our families and our freedom

And how there are some things worth fighting for

Then I’ll mention a song

And you’ll claim it’s your favorite

And I’ll blush because we have something in common

I live for this nonsense

It’s shallow and meaningful at the same time

And I love how you don’t fall asleep until late

On nights when we talk

Because I stay up too

Just to talk to you

It’s worth the red eyes

And that extra cup of coffee

In the morning

Because you make me happier than you know

And I’ve been in love once,

And this isn’t it

But it’s a beautiful infatuation

Maybe it’s the idea of you

Or maybe it’s actually you

But for now, that’s a minor detail

And I love our nonsensical talks

About nothing at all

One of us will fall asleep

Probably you

And I’ll over think it

And imagine how much you must hate me

But that’s nonsense too

Just like everything about us

Maybe we’ll grow up

And you won’t be a silly infatuation anymore

But I don’t need that quite yet

I’m perfectly fine

Talking nonsense with you.

this is such a lovely poem. There is no frill attached to it, it is so simply written yet it describes a moment shared between the couples delightfully.

This stanza:
"Maybe we’ll grow up
And you won’t be a silly infatuation anymore
But I don’t need that quite yet
I’m perfectly fine
Talking nonsense with you."

Speaks volumes. I like the entire poem, but especially that stanza.

[Molly Garnet]

Thank you so so much

[Jeremia]

Of course. :)

[BaneisBorn]

This is a positively beautiful poem. I can relate to what it's saying, since God knows how many times I've stayed up and just chatted with the people I love. I think that everyone can understand even the simple feelings in this poem/ Good job with it :)

[Molly Garnet]

Thank you so much :) yeah sometimes it doesn't even matter what you're talking about as long as its with the right person

[BaneisBorn]

True that.
I hope I never grow out of talking about nonsense

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and positive poem. Good to talk all night long and wait for the morning light. Good to be young and filled with hope and dreams. I like the description in the outstanding poem.
