There is Nothing

In response to "When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud?"

There is nothing that makes me happier

than sharing a movie with you

sharing popcorn fingers

and soda breath

with you.

There is nothing that makes me happier

than sharing a drive with you

sharing blurring sights

and gas money

with you.

There is nothing that makes me happier

than sharing an evening with you

sharing our thoughts

and feelings

and loves

and passions

with you.

There is nothing that makes me lonelier

than watching a movie by myself

not bothering to make popcorn

nor pour soda

alone.

There is nothing that makes me lonelier

than driving by myself

destination to place

no music for you

alone.

There is nothing that makes me lonelier

than an evening by myself

no one to share thoughts

or feelings

or love

or passion

alone.

There is nothing that makes me more proud

than being by your side

than loving you most

than sharing everything with you

my thoughts

my feelings

my love

my passion

together.
