I fell for a boy
with a body like a giraffe,
a boy composed of lanky limbs
that he doesn't quite know how to use
I fell for a boy
with enticing eyes
that crinkle when he laughs
like a wave in the sea
I fell for a boy
with a raspy voice
that sent shivers up my spine
every time we talked
I fell for a boy
with gorgeous curls
that fell in ringlets
around his face
I fell for a boy
with a hell of a personality
he was all quick wit
and shy smiles
I fell for a boy
with so many skeletons
in his closet
that he could fill a graveyard
I fell for a boy
that taught me
just what it meant
to feel alive again
