with his hair styled back all neat
his eyes bounding universe and galaxies
and the freckles on his face animating his emotions

he wrote down words and read them aloud
focusing on his enunciation and delivery
as if his next moments depended on it

he dressed for the occasion in fancy attire
sipping on a glass of water
awaiting the answer he yearned for

in the end i told him i would do the same
that i would always be on his side
and that he was my answer to everything

the joy overtook every inch of his face
his smile appearing grander than the cosmos
and he was the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen
