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.
