By Your Side

Beside the seaside I reside
Westside
I sit inside
by you.

I’d rather be outside
Eastside
Mountainside
But instead
I lay to your left side
Whispering snide comments.

On the tall side
On the dark side
On the handsome side
You give me a sideways glance.

“Time’s on your side,”
Sitting on my right side
You’re wrong.
Aside from your innocence
You mean well.
You get it from your father’s side
I guess.

Side-by-side
We reside
beside the seaside
Inside

I’d rather be outside
Eastside
Mountainside
But instead
You lay on your side
(Left side, inside, seaside)
And smile at me with your
Sideways Charm.

That’s the downside
Of being in love with you.
