Ladder
He's got blue eyes
that are darker than mine
and his smile
shakes my knees for awhile.
What I like
most about him:
he's the perfect height
when I stand next to him.
I don't know what it is about me
that he likes, but he does though;
and lucky for me
there's a ladder to his window.
He's not scared of the word love,
said it was invented for us
and I believe it too.
God. His eyes are so blue.
He says I make his hands shake,
but he's too embarassed to explain
so I don't ask
but I do know that...
He can climb tall trees
and my windows never really closed,
and lucky for me
there's a ladder to his window.
