THINGS ABOUT YOU THAT I LIKE:

- Your brown hair, especially when it's in-between cuts, and you've been playing sport and it's damp with sweat. I like the way you run your fingers through it, how you shake it under the water tap, make it wet some more and unruly with humidity. I want it to be like that because of me.

- Your smile, because it's rare and shy and soft and subtle. It makes me bubbly inside, especially when you smile at me. I'm fascinated and captivated by such an expression, suddenly foreign and new and exciting.

- Your hands, how long and nimble they are, so delicate and soft. When our fingers brush, passing a phone between us or a book, or walking side by side, I feel light and airy and on edge all at once, wanting more. I want them to caress me, touch me, finger me.

- Your shoulders, how they pronounce themselves as a destination, all warm and brown and smooth. They glimmer in the sun, wet after we have been swimming, and I want to place my hands on them, feel the moisture and smooth skin, to feel it with my palms and fingers and with my lips.

- Your fine line of hair on your naval, which fascinates me, makes me want to touch, to follow. It's hot in a way I never knew body hair could be, until I saw yours.

- Your eyes, how subtle and blue and fleeting. When they look at me, I feel light and airy. I experience a petite mort every time I look into them, and so it is a balancing act for me to make eye contact as we talk without being completely thrown.

- Your scent when it is earned, a mixture of cologne and perspiration, intoxicating and exciting and erotic all at once, turning me on, over and over.



THINGS ABOUT ME THAT I LIKE:

- How true and deep and honest and loyal I am to you, even if you are just an idea.
