who can wrestle with me & let me win.
who I can talk to about anything.
who laughs at my jokes.
a boy who puts my cold hands in his warm hoody pockets.
who lets me use his sweatshirt for a pillow.
who says i love you & means it
who will kiss me in the rain, in the sunshine, and in the snow
who calls unexpectedly at random times
who will have many inside jokes with me & remember each one
a boy who n o t i c e s when I'm sad
who realizes that girls say things but don't mean them.
who shows up at my games, slipping in the door
who I can go swimming with on hot days
who can tell me his problems & let me help
who will listen to me talk about fun times with my friends
who will let me vent to him when I get angry
who writes love letters to me but doesn't send them to me
who saves his genuine, big smiles for me.
a boy with deep eyes that can see through faces into depths
who wears baseball hats & lets me wear his too
who gives me his t-shirt to change into
who knows my favorite color, and song
a boy who will shake my daddy's hand & look my mother in the eye
who will call me by my full name, first, middle, & last.
a boy who will kiss me
and tell me I'm pretty and mean it
who will let me cry to him
who will squeeze my hips just right from behind
who plays with my hair
who knows when I have a math test
or when I fail one.
a boy who smells like he just stepped out of the shower
a boy who doesn't mind how weird I am
who likes spending time with me even if it's just watching a movie
who tells me I have a nice laugh and a smile that lights up the room and simply be mine to hold
is that too much to ask for??
maybe, but I can dream forever.
here's looking at you kid,
Shelby
