your capacity for compassion
Alludes and astounds me
Every
Day

When I see you
even
If only platonic
My heart
Still
Pounds for you

I could hold you
For hours
With no
ulterior
Motives

I want nothing more
than to care for you
The way you already
have for me

I cannot thank you enough
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a beacon of light
Through a long stretch of tunnel
With nowhere
Near
Enough
Daylight

You
And your
beautiful passion
Exceed
And transcend
All preconceived notions
Of the human experience

the way you look at me
after each song we share
The way you let me rest
My weary head
On your shoulder
The way you
press
The dimples on my face
Stretch my lips
and pin my brows
The way you form
The most authentic smile
I’ve had in years

You really are a
work of art.

-I did say your smile was infectious
