You are balding on the back of your head. I sort of like that.

You drink more alcohol than you should.

Your eyes grow to twice their size when you are excited.

You have four dimples.

You smile with your entire face. I really like that.

You have a body sculpted by the directors employed in Hollywood.

Your scar under your chin helps remind me that you are perfectly imperfect.

 

You will forever be: my prominent “what if”, my greatest regret, and my favorite “almost”.

 

-- -- --

 

You have a smile that could light up a stadium.

You sing off pitch to my favorite songs. But I do also.

You chew the inside of your cheek when you are nervous.

Your dancing needs work. We could take classes together.

You lie a lot.

Your father is your best friend, and I would love to meet him.

You are going to make a difference in this world, but you don’t realize that yet.

 

However for now, I know you are the one. The one I cannot have.
