He was a boy with beautiful eyes
and an appreciation for colorful socks and generic tea.
A boy that played the drums and went to festivals.
The kind of festivals that left him longing for a proper shower
and his mother's pork belly stew.
He dyed his hair a fitting shade of black
And though he was underwhelmed by the idea of anything romantic
his use of smiley emoticons was enough to make up for it.
He taught me the importance of learning to appreciate cheap wine
and the power of using compliments sparingly.
He was the kind of boy that would be fun to spoon,
or so I assume
because I've never met him.
