"What's he like?"

He is wonderful,

in more ways than I know how to explain.

He's the moment before I fall asleep—

that tiny flash of light and safety,

the warmth I feel when I close my eyes.

He's just different.

He is never in a hurry.

We drive in circles for miles simply because

we aren't ready to say goodnight yet.

And he talks like we have all the time

in the world.

He makes me forget every other boy

I've ever been with.

It isn't about obsession or sensuality;

it's about tenderness and fondness

and feeling such deep admiration for each other

we don't know what to do with our hands.

I trust him and I try hard be vulnerable and open

because I want to be close to him.

I know that I am not easy to love:

I am overemotional and I am afraid of commitment

and I overthink everything.

But his face lights up when I walk in a room

and I am giddy just thinking about him...

maybe it's not any more complicated

than that.

I'm guess I'm just wondering

why the the universe was so kind

to give me him.

I try to repay it by loving him

the best that I can.

"What's he like?"

Sometimes I don't know how to answer.

Words won't do him justice.

What's he like????

He is wonderful,

in more ways than I know.

"It’s not a very pretty or perfect love, or even necessarily a romantic love. It doesn’t look cool. It’s more like two helpless things in the wild, and one says “I’ll protect you”, and both parties know it’s a lie because there’s no way either of them can protect the other from anything. That lie is the best way to describe this love. That feeling of not having to say “I’m scared”, because you share the exact feelings without having words over or under complicate it, that’s worth more than protection. It’s a connection. The less alone. This is all we look for on earth." —CG
