Him
You’ve always been gentle,
You’re openly kind.
You feel your emotions
And you say what you mean.
You’re the yes boy
For whatever they need.
You’re unafraid
Of being yourself.
You tell dad jokes,
‘Thats what she said’ in between.
You do what you want,
You eff around,
But not long enough
To find out.
You’ve been held within limits
That have finally broken.
You’re free to be yourself
In the confines of these perimeters.
You walk and talk
Like you’re some kind of playboy
But you consider others,
Maybe more than you should.
You wear your heart on your sleeve,
And you act by over thinking.
You smile real pretty
And follow your own rules.
You swear loud as hell,
You dance in the rain.
You’re unapologetic
In the way that you move.
I didn’t change that,
But you’ve become more aware.
You say you consider more
After what we did.
You’re more
Than what you
Make yourself seem.
To the friend I wrote this about, if you ever come across this... Thank you. For a lot more than this is saying.
