It's the simple things that
creep up from behind and scare the
shit out of me.
It's not the complicated things
such as sex or politics;
I'm talking about slurpees or coffee,
Couples Retreat or Zombieland,
XL 106.7 or 103.3 The Vibe,
McDonald's or Olive Garden,
Lady Gaga or David Archuleta -
it's those things.
It's not how it turns me on
to feel his hands touch me,
to feel his skin all over
and sigh and smile as he
bites my neck and holds me tigher.
It's the best pleasure -
yet alone it's no different
than any other guy I've been with,
but he's beautiful, honestly -
but mostly for other reasons
such as
the way he copies me
when we're hugging -
I'll rub his back and he'll
do the same for me;
how we find the constellations
fascinating,
even though neither of us know
anything about astrology;
the way he holds my hand
while we're watching a movie
yet - without complaint - understands
why I let go
if a stranger walks by;
the way he likes me in Hollister jeans
or Addidas soccer shorts,
spiked hair
or normal hair
or a hat
or just plain hat-hair,
flip-flops or DCs;
the way he reacts when I say
I missed him - and that smile
with the flair of a thousand flames.
It's the way he handles himself
with such maturity and understanding
when I admit I'm terrified of hurting him,
that I'm not ready, no,
not for this -
it's the perfect things that scare
the hell out of me.
The second I feel comfortable
is the moment I should feel restless.
I am complicated -
like sex and politics
and that's why right now
I'm not the one for him
since I don't make sense
like the simple things do.
