Reason like you

he said i should write about him so i

spent the last couple of weeks holding

on to every piece of him that

causes the ends of my lips to curl up so

effortlessly

i want to explain the way he makes me

feel so vividly that even strangers

couldn't question me he said

i should write about him and quite

frankly i'm not exactly sure where to

start

i could tell you about his appearance

but i'll leave that at the hands of the

woman whose eyes glisten in his presence

butterflies i could feel the whole

zoo in his essence while simultaneously

finding peace in the same place i used

to find chaos

knowing him is knowing new levels of

intimacy

tell me have you ever felt safe in

someone's energy

he makes a vulnerability feel more like

a superpower than anything he is strong

but gentle he is where fire and water

find their equilibrium

he is tranquility in the midst of

commotion he is my version of perfection

personified

he is rude to everyone else but he holds

me like grudges

like he'd really have to lose something

if he ever decided to let me go

okay it's been a while since a man has

actually made me feel like

something i mean someone someone

actually worth

loving on and i'm never really sure how

to respond

he makes me nervous my hands get clammy

at the simple thought that he might ask

me to hold them

i'm afraid of ever giving him a reason

not to like me so i overthink everything

i want to learn every piece of him so i

can learn to be peace for him

i've always been a good woman but he

makes me feel phenomenal

i want to provide him with a consistency

that will make infinity ashamed

he is nothing like anything i'm used to

and i've never been at ease with the

unknown but he makes being blind feel

so comfortable

he fills the gaps between me and my

dreams he

is reality you see i wrote this without

spaces i'm trying to keep us close

so in case he was ever wondering

i want to be the reminder that people

like him don't come around often

he is worth much more than the things he

gives himself credit for he makes

sunsets look mediocre in comparison to

his smile

i want to remember every scar against

his skin that tells his story you see he

is a masterpiece created by god himself

i want to tell the girls who dreams

futures when staring at his very

existence that their

future with him is non-existent i have

already filled that spot

because even with all this darkness in

the world i still see beauty

left in him he is my favorite part of

every day and if i'm being honest

i have merely scratched the surface see

i'm being selfish

and i want to keep him to myself so when

asked why do you like him

what does he do to you i'll recite this

poem in silence because i'm afraid if

they knew

they'd find a million reasons to like

him too
