Is This Love?
Lemon squares
And sorbet eyes
Belong to the one
That I am in love with.
They think of themselves
As judgemental and crude,
But instead they are more
Than that.
They are adorable,
Sweet as sugar cane.
With a moral backbone
As strong as a bamboo chute.
Everything about them just screams
The word soft
And delicate.
Even though they consider themselves
Fragile or “bubble-wrapped.”
They stand up for what they think is right.
They are the one who sits in the back
Of a crowd and yells an idea out
And exposes the undeniable truth.
They are courageous.
They put up a front of some-sort
When they are around certain people.
They act tough and stoic,
But when it’s one on one between
Us…
They laugh, howl even,
At my outrageously complicated humor.
They listen and understand.
That’s why I love them.
Let me rephrase that.
That’s why I admire him.
