enchanted by the way
you held your hands together
so shy and nervous
even for such a beautiful soul

plummeting harder than could
ever be imagined
for you
and your subconscious doings

the way that you bit on your nails
when you had to speak out
and how you always had a lighter
but didn't smoke

and you always wore a smile
and behind your bright blue eyes
there was always more to tell
that would never escape your lips

words stuck on the tongue
never quite making their way out
and a smile so delicate
that held a lifetime of secrets

the vastness of a mind
as beautiful as your own
never ceases to amaze me
and make me wonder about the world
