He's on
the football team and he's an honor student.
He's t houghtful and he's
witty. He's cute and he's
goofy sometimes. You like the same
music. And he
always smells amazing and he plays
hockey too. Plus he asks
you "how you
doing today, honey?" and he is shy
sometimes, but he still makes
sure to talk
specifically
to you and you catch him
looking at you sometimes and you
can't
help but
smile. And you both take a little too
long to look away
and you can't
get him out of
your head and you start to
notice all the
little things about him
and they all
d rive you crazy. He always
wears those
cozy-looking sweatshirts
and you
just want to nuzzle your
face in his
shoulder. And he always wears
those sneakers
that you always thought looked goofy... until you met him.
And
you don't
know why you love them on
him. And how
his lips part when he's
thinking and his jaw
drops a little. He laughs, shaking his hair, revealing that
little
freckle behind his
left ear. His soft
hair can
be a complete mess, but still
be
absolutely perfect. He spins on his
heels
when he hears his friends’
chatter
behind him. His grades are always outright perfect, but he never
ever brags. He
can be a total hooligan, or can be discreet and shy. His eyes
search to the right
when he gives a fake smile. He is always
scrunching his sleees up, over his
elbows. His fingers can
paint a symphony the keys on a piano. His face can
turn
completely red, just from
laughing. He slips into his seat every day, just
before
the bell. He
swirls his locker combination without
looking. He runs his hand
through his hair when he
thinks. He actually thinks about what he's going to
say.
His eyes glaze over whenever
teachers speak. He reads aloud, his voice
steady
and smooth. His chin tilts
slightly to the left when he
laughs. He can always
break any awkward
silences. His sunglasses never seem to stay on
his nose. He
can make anything
sound amazing. His words flow out of him
like a poem. His
jeans wrinkle when he
stands and you don't care anymore how much taller
he
is than you. Whenever you're with
him you're sitting next
to each other
anyway. In class. At lunch. At all
those football games that you
don’t even
understand. You start remembering his favorite bands and
his favorite foods.
You start remembering every little thing he ever said to
you and you start to
believe you're going crazy. A crazy cat lady who's allergic
to cats. He drives you
crazy. And you don't know why. He makes time for just you and
he introduces
you to his family. Your dreams are coming true. You do everything
together.
You're all each other can ever think about. You start to be honest
with each
other more than you are with yourself. You know each other now more
than
you've ever known anyone else. Even though you haven't
known each other
long. You talk about your futures together. Then you talk about
your futures
that part. You start to drift. And that's painful. You start
to miss him even
though he's not gone yet. He is frustrating sometimes. He
doesn't realize that
everything about him is killing you. You try to resist him. But
you can't. You can't
get him out of your head. Or shake him from your heart. He
captivates you...
You love him and you
don't know why.
