My Amazing Teddy Bear

Hug me close to your heart tonight

under the covers by the candlelight

while the movie plays and we giggle

because I'm hiding while you tickle.

Dim, glowing colors before our eyes,

but we're too busy with our tries

to win such an old game- one, two, three four,

I declare thumb-war!

Hands locked intensely, but it's just an excuse

so I can touch you- let's make a truce,

as long as we never have to let go,

but I'm going to smirk so you don't know.

You let me win like every other time

so you can hear my bragging chime,

and you lean close smiling sweet,

with a reason to hush me as our lips meet.

A soft, light kiss- I don't want to move,

and as the kiss grows deeper I know you approve,

our hearts dancing to a pretty melody

beyond these walls and out to sea.

Crisp sounds around us cannot match the sigh

escaping my chest as I catch your eye

full of love while you silently adore,

and I look down with warm cheeks at the floor.

All you do is chuckle- how unfair!

You didn't give me a chance to prepare,

crawling closer by my side in your cozy sweater,

making me wish you could stay forever.

For a moment I think it's serious when you choke,

but you're messing and cracking that classic joke,

and I'll tell you like before it's not funny

that you could've been hurt, but you laugh crazily.

I try to leave, but you quietly call my name,

and what I was feeling a second ago isn't the same,

as you pull me into your arms in your gentle hold,

promising you'll do whatever you're told.

My cheek against your chest, I grin,

knowing it's a lie, but this time you win,

enjoying the affection of your fingers in my hair,

and your silly whispers of being my teddy bear.

Yes, you are.
