LOVE Poem: I LOVE THE MOVIES, by Jay Jane

I think I’m falling in love like they do in the movies
Or romcoms or something like that
Not just because when we lock eyes and I start feeling butterflies
But because for once in my life my head and my heart are in agreement
And the rain is romantic and not inconvenient

He has those eyes that mesmerise me like fireflies in the sky
He says I’m out of his league but that just leaves me more intrigued
Because I’m falling more in love with him with every passing day

So if I’m falling in love like they do in the movies
That would make sense
I’m kind of shy but he’s the kind of guy to always speak his mind
He’s kind
And if I could I’d press rewind to live every moment with him one more time

I have my faults and I know where they fall,
but when I overthink it all, he over explains
Over and over again
Reassuring me with the: “that’s not true, I love every side of you.”
In every possible future in any possible universe
I see myself beside him, for better or worse
And this has been in the back of my mind for quite some time but
it’s always been you, even before I knew that to be true

I’m falling in love like they do in the movies,
I know I didn’t exactly follow the script
But so far, we’ve had some real fun with it

He still gives me butterflies and they constantly multiply
I know we aren’t following a typical storyline
And I’ve definitely kissed him at some inappropriate times
But surprise, that’s okay, because we can improvise
