Like An Old Movie

I like you on a Sunday afternoon

On the couch

In an old sweatshirt

Sipping coffee

Glasses halfway down your face

Pajama pants

And rain outside

I like you like an old movie

I like you late at night

On a weekend

When I'm too tired to go out

And you stretch out on me

And cast my body

In black and white light

Making me feel glad

That I didn't venture out

Into the night

I like you like an old movie

I like you on a sick day

When I'm gross and barely upright

Taking time to soothe me

With familiarity

And story line

And appropriate commercial breaks

So I can take time

To eat my soup

I like you

I like you like an old movie

I like you when I'm not invited somewhere

How you make me feel productive

When I've really done nothing

I like how you give me conversation topics

Amongst interesting people

When I do get invited

To uninteresting parties

I like how you're there when I need you

And how I forget I need you

Until I'm flipping through my life

And you pop up

Reminding me how good you are

I like you

Cause you're cinematic

You're like an old movie

I could watch over

And over

Again
