That boy is warm freshly printed papers
Stuffed in his overflowing binder
That boy is the leaves being painted
In early November
That boy is Pokémon cards skewed all over the floor
Who never signed up for this 'growing up' thing
That boy is a huge stuffed frog on Valentine's
Lessening the winter's violent sting
That boy is obscure facts of the arcane
A curiosity never satisfied
That boy has an ever expanding brain
And long hands that reek of formaldehyde
That boy is beautiful freckles
"Splotches of melanin" as he puts it
That boy is compliments I don't deserve
And a love I just can't quit
That boy is a long way down
A relationship that's nowhere close to flawless
That boy is worth the fall because that boy
Is my dear Nicholas
