A/N: A poem about love. So sue me.

"It's About Us"

By: Midnight

do you even understand why?

it's not about yesterday

it's not about tomorrow

it's not about what you did, said, could have...should have...

it's about you and me

today, right here, now.

it's about your eyes, your lips

it's about your breath, your touch

it's about my hand in yours

it's about your heart beating

next to mine

it's about your whisper into my ear

telling me that everything is going to be ok

it's about the warmth of your body

undistinguishable from mine

it's not about what they say

it's not about "supposed to be", about "should"

it's not about politics

it's about passion and emotion and that thump inside my body

when you're around

it's about desire and impulse

it's about me and you

it's about the feelings

it's about love

it's about everything

and nothing

it's about forever

and never.

i understand why not.

it's about meaning nothing

it's about hopeless dreams

it's about why you never hold me close

why you never whisper to me

it's about love

being a two-way street

it's not about wanting, it's not about feeling

it's about politics

it's about me pining away over your pitiful self

because you never wanted me

it's about all the other girls

it's about my tears and my anger and my jealousy

it's about your obliviousness

it's about your lies

it's not about how much you love me

it's about how much you don't

it's not about your hands and eyes and breath and heart and body

it's about how i'll never know those things

it's about how i'll never feel you next to me

it's about how lonely i am without you

and how much pain i feel with you

it's about being friends but never more

it's about staring at your picture and wondering why

it's about being alone

it's about everything i ever said to you

and you never said back

and everything i ever felt for you

and you never felt back

it's about every time i get my hopes up about you and i fall further

it's about all the times you came close to touching me

but pulled away because you couldn't take it

it's not about the stars and the moon and the feelings

it's about all the things that never were

and never will be

it's about what we'll never have

it's about you and me

it's about everything

and nothing

it's about love.
