Maybe

Maybe if I didn't stay with you every night like I do.  
Maybe if I just went home when the movie finished you would miss me just a little bit.  
Maybe you would miss me to the point that you can't wait to see me again and when you do, you kiss me like it's our first.  Maybe you'd look at me like you haven't seen me in days and you'd touch me like you're touching my body for the first time.  
Just maybe.

But maybe I'm scared that if I don't stay with you every night you won't miss me.  Maybe I'm afraid that you've grown bored and anticipate your time away from me.  
Right now, lately, we sit in silence and stare at the TV.  We don't laugh anymore.  We don't play anymore.  We almost have to force our selves to have sex with each other.  We've only been together 4 months.  
Maybe if I wasn't so scared, you'd miss me.  
Maybe if I just went home every night, you'd beg me not to leave.
