I’ve never met anyone like you before-
But oh, the man that you are.
My lips tug into a soft smile and I fall back into the couch with a sigh of contentment;
I ache to reach directly through the phone and kiss you in the softest of ways.
You’ve never run from the conflict of my family and-
You’ve never screamed about it either.
Instead you gently grab my hand and nudge me in a direction of self protection;
Your love a path instead of a shield and your quiet belief in me-
It’s the most attractive thing I’ve ever known.
It dawns on me that I’ve walked directly into love with you and,
It’s the calmest thing in the world.
My body is never the kind of live wire that screams danger;
You choose actions over words and my heart chooses you over the world.
I’ve never met anyone like you before-
But oh, the man that you are,
showing up so steadily that I let you in without noticing.
