he's so unsure
in the most self assured way
he has eyes like the sea
before a storm
a combination of
blue
and
green
so remarkable
that you want nothing but
to have them look
into yours
the very same way
and his laugh is
a sound that should be
boxed up
and put away
to be accessed at a
moments notice
to be cherished
--always
every single time it
stumbles out
of his diaphragm
his face is
familiar
in the way of a childhood comfort
that you never want
to un-see
a mix of joy and nostalgia
that you want to relive
everyday
he has a way about him
like
he could break at
one crooked word
yet
he's strong enough
to carry
the whole world around
on his shoulders
he's unerasable
but you wouldn't
even want to erase him
if you had the chance
--he's perfect
he'd carry around all your burdens with you
and bottle up your laughs
and document every three A.M. conversation
you constantly just want to
be with him
because that's where you're okay
and you want to tell him
you want him
to know
but
he probably wouldn't want that
and in all likelihood
he would disappear
and that
would be like
trying to breathe
under
water
