Roxbury

Some know what love is, they say it’s in the eyes.

They see it in a gaze or pen an epic tale.

Some say it’s in the kiss of one so true.

Then some say: Hey, I just knew.

They deem it fate and say: We’re tried and true.

Well, ours isn’t that. Our tale may not seem epic.

Our love is diff, we bond in a diff way.

You prob did not see God in my eyes

-or a star in my gaze.

My face prob did not hook you

with just one look.

I prob was not easy, to get to know—

far from an open book.

Some say love has a feel

Like fate.

You just know— they say..

Love has a glow.

It has its ways.

It shows—you know??

Not us..

not then…

But now.

What now?

What are we like?

To us, we know what

it is.

For us…

We prob don’t give

lust or glow or ooze sexy

And prob are not an IG goal.

But to me, for me

you lock up my soul.

You are the key. I’m the lock.

—It’s how I feel.

My lite in a dark room,

the warm body I curl up with

when my feet are cold.

Or the one who lets me

just feel free.. to just be.

You don’t mind

That I’m a nerd and

you say, you find it sexy and cute.

For you, I’m your ear to hear when

you need to vent— or say what is on your mind.

I’m the guts you call on

when you need to be bold.

You are my good luck

and my best days, I’m like a

new soul…

You make it all feel new…

My life.. my love.

A sexy vibe on a late nite.

The soft to my hard, we gel so well.

My wave, my tide— so lost in you.

You have my back, and my side, I have no fear.

I hope you feel the same and know

that I am ever near.

We just are and I love it.

And I like you too.

The curl of your lip,

the grip of your hand,

your soft skin,

Sly grin,

the feel of your hugs.

Not fire, nor glow— but we flow

like lava.

Like air and lung,

A slow burn,

a warm hope, a good joke,

the best sex,

how we jest,

a good book,

That look,

a good hook

over the best song ever.

An LOL text.

Can’t wait for

what can be next.

It’s just us.

And some fun.

And the feel.

We live.

We chat.

We talk.

We yell.

We cry.

We trip too.

But you make me feel new…

like love and lite,

And like

No day is a bore.

And you make my soul soar.

They say it’s in the eyes,

Or the kiss

Or the hugs.

Some say you just know…

Love won’t hide.

I gaze up in the nite

as you doze next to me.

The hugs?

The eyes?

The warm slow burn.

ah, yes, it’s true what they say.

All of this must be love and I now it’s true.

Well, well I can say this now.

I do know love.

And love is you…
