What I Like Most About You
I think what I like most about you are..
your jokes,
because it only takes one shared laugh,
to make me feel as if no distance rests,
or time has past, between us,
since we saw each-other last
I think what I like most about you are…
your eyes,
because they smile at me as if they know
the slippery ins-and-outs of me,
and glance over
whenever somebody says something out of the ordinary,
I think what i like most about you are..
your Nike socks
because they rise past your ankles,
and compliment your khakis
allowing me to catch a glimpse of you, 20 years from now.
and i know…
and i know…
and i know…
and i know…
what scares me the most about you is
how you’ll come Waltzing over,
one-eye winking
two-arms swinging
along the sides of your old college-T,
to say hello,
and i won’t be able to move or say
one thing.
