One Thousand Words to Capture You

Where do I begin?

Your ears! They seem strange to some

and used to make you shy, but their smooth shape sings to my soul.

Your grin! Not quick, but quirky.

Forms silly faces that make me forgive the misfortunes of the day.

Your eyebrows! Firmly fixed together, you can't tweak them apart.

It drives you crazy, and me to tears of laughter.

Your nose is normal. Flawless.

Your arms, with muscles fairly gained with

dedication to what you do best.

Your legs, runner's legs. I know because you always defeat me

in our sprint to the door.

Your knobbly knees, your spiky shoulders that are

a terrible pillow but the one that I prefer anyway.

Your fingers, always moving. Skinny and

skilled to make such sweet sounds.

Your fetish- Yes, I remember! Mine is socks, and the number four,

but yours is a secret just between us.

Your serious answers that night when I was half-drunk

from need for sleep. They will be with me forever.

These are the things (some of them) that make you loveable, adorable,

unforgettable, and unregrettable.

Closer than a brother.

And absolutely irrevokably unkissable. I love all these and

both the beautiful and the painful things I have seen in you.
